Sure that is fairly simple, but where will that really even be needed in 
practice right now?

It seems fairly contrived, for what use case?

Something like "find / --type libxo --exec {} \;"  ?   Or something real?

This really seems to be going off the deep end of over engineering.

How many programs have been successfully converted over to libxo at this
