In fact, in the panama use case this would make sense for other systems as well. For instance on linux systems, there's a bunch of known library names in gnu/lib-names.h which programs can depend on, but for which System::load/loadLibrary cannot be used - as they are neither library names, nor paths - for instance "libm.so.6". - Marked as reviewed by mcimadamore (Reviewer).
