While testing, let me know if you have any thoughts on the (partially)
documented
feature of dlfunc to call a C wrapper that in turn calls some other
language's code.

Not that a pipe cannot also do that, but dlfunc *might* be able to call
any-posix-compliant
binary without caring if the *source* was in C or some other language.

Thanks,
