What is the feature?

There currently exists a load_function() API to load a symbol from a DLL. This should really be renamed to load_symbol(), since it also supports variables. So ideally we'd rename load_function() to load_symbol(), and have load_function() simply call load_symbol() for backward compatibility.

Desribe alternatives you have considered?

I know you were able to get this working with the current load function. Did it work for windows and linux?

It works on Linux. Haven't tested on Windows, still in the process of fine-tuning the dcapp build process on non-Linux OSs
