The existance of a standard archive of IPL procedures that could be
linked would be good, but I think you would want to consider the
effects of string invocation. If the linker for an Icon interpreter
was a dynamic linker, then the combination would be wonderfully
flexible.
Dynamic linking of Icon procedures would be easier in some respects
than dynamic linking for native compiled C procedures. I expect
considerably more context would need to be carried around in order to
make it possible.
