It took me a couple of iterations through your previous email before I
got that point. That's an interesting distinction, and one that didn't
occur to me. However, I'm not sure the linked article section is
really relevant. While it's true that LC doesn't fork or exec plugin
stacks, I don't think the next clause about dynamically linking
applies either. That's more applicable to binary executables that link
to binary external libraries. I would hesitate to say that this section
applies to scripting languages.
