Description

The gopher-lua repository explicitly states loadlib is not supported. Does this mean it's impossible to load shared objects as extensions, such as https://github.com/wahern/lunix ?

If this was possible, functionality not in the current Go API could be used without modifying the core application and recompiling.

Edit: are there any alternative solutions? https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua/issues/87

Investigate whether shared objects such as lunix can be loaded without recompiling the core application; document a supported approach or the available alternatives as the finished result.
