I think the system is overconstrained at that point. If you want to
support clients that delay-load the ABI they're compiled against,
_and_ have them continue to work seamlessly after the system has
upgraded the ABI underneath them, without restarting the client... is
there any option other than side-by-side installation?

I'm not sure if it's possible to ship a client-side module system
without something getting more complicated, though... I'm trying hard
not to overcomplicate it for you, but I also don't think the
complexity is going to remain the same.
