I think Roberto is right, and there's a pitfall in allowing bundles and
dylibs to be loaded: dylibs are always loaded in public namespace,
so you can't load two dylibs that define the same external symbol
(i.e: you can't load two or more dylibs with a "luaLM_import" function
and so on); in the other way, bundles are usually loaded with the
NSLINKMODULE_OPTION_PRIVATE, and each one has its own
namespace.

By only allowing bundles to be loaded you enforce others to make
things better, IMHO.

Bye, and happy xmas everyone!
