Naw,  Too complicated.   Procedure pointers, ActivateBoundProgram,
GetExport.........
Just to achieve what it should have been in the first place in my opinion.
You are giving  me ways to work around your design model already
implemented.

My original point was about Dynamic binding being the pinnacle of a design
model from a
flexibility standpoint and that binding was a pragmatic rationalization of
speed/resources/and mirroring how it is done in other languages and
platforms.

IHO

It doesn't matter now.   As Hornsby would say  "That's the way it is" .
My first post is at the bottom to see my original thought.

I just happened to read this particular note, and so apologize if it
has already been pointed out, but you could avoid this by using the
Activate Bound Program (QleActBndPgm) and Get Export (QleGetExp) APIs
and then call those infrequently used functions via a procedure pointer.
This would avoid the startup cost associated with static binding.
