When cx needs to execute a function at compiletime, it links it 
into a shared object and loads it back with dlsym/dlopen. So 
while you get a slower startup speed (until the cache is filled), 
any further calls to a ctfe function run at native performance. 
Plus, it means the macro is ABI compatible with the running 
compiler, so the compiler can pass objects back and forth without 
a glue layer.
