  16.     ...My thought was to use loadable functions (or external calls)
  17.     to support many of the features I need, since I
  18.     have done this before to include DBM support in Icon.
  19.  
  20. There are a few such loadable functions, mostly written as examples,
  21. in the cfuncs directory of the Icon program library.
