You can do some nice things with C++ interfaces:
entry_point hello(some_lib, "greet"); hello(world);
What would that call to 'hello' do
Call "greet", I assume.
and how would you protect your application against ABI incompatibilities without heavy machinery ?
entry_point will probably have to demangle the various "greet" exports and perform overload resolution and implicit conversions as necessary. This _is_ heavy machinery but it's hidden from the user and Boost.Python may already contain the bulk of the functionality.
