Corporate schizophrenia is not all that rare. In fact, any corporation
of sufficiently large size often exhibits such symptoms, IME.  The view
of corporations as single, coherent entities is one I've always been
skeptical of.

Be that as it may, upon my latest update of git HEAD of dmd / druntime /
phobos, I noticed the beginnings of dynamic linking in Phobos. I haven't
tested how well this works with 3rd party D dynamic libraries yet, but
this is a wonderful step forward! I'm looking forward to full dynamic
library support in D in the near future!!
