-The @code{sb-alien:load-shared-object} loads a single object file into
-the currently running Lisp. The external symbols defining routines and
-variables are made available for future external references (e.g. by
-@code{extern-alien}). Forward references to foreign symbols aren't
-supported: @code{load-shared-object} must be run before any of the
-defined symbols are referenced.

-Note: As of SBCL 0.7.5, all foreign code (code loaded with
-@code{load-1-function} or @code{load-function}) is lost when a Lisp
-core is saved with @code{sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die}, and no attempt is
-made to restore it when the core is loaded. Historically this has been
-an annoyance both for SBCL users and for CMUCL users. It's hard to
-solve this problem completely cleanly, but some generally-reliable
-partial solution might be useful. Once someone in either camp gets
-sufficiently annoyed to create it, SBCL is likely to adopt some
-mechanism for automatically restoring foreign code when a saved core
-is loaded.
