Interesting. I have to admit that I have currently no idea about global
and local namespaces of C libraries. Have to ask google or the Nim
developers tomorrow :-)
Currently Nim compiles to C (can also compile to other targets as well,
C++, JS and more, but C is the default.) Will investigate how it loads
libraries.
You could check the code for where they call dlopen() and whether or not
they pass the RTLD_GLOBAL flag.
