Do we even need to worry about this?  Assuming a developer uses this
method, they can still use the old names (which are documented in the

Regardless, the only time I can see using dlopen() or dlsym() is for
testing for newer versions of libraries at run-time, which will be
using the new naming conventions anyway, right?
