This library was designed to simplify plugin development using C++ in a portable cross-platform manner.
Library provides a portable across platforms way to:

* import any native functions and variables
* make alias names for C++ mangled functions and symbols
* query libraries for sections and exported symbols
* self loading and self querying
* getting program and module location by exported symbol
