What?

Setting aside the fact that this can already be done in numerous different ways on many platforms, how is this a win?

It's hard enough for developers to write correct code, let alone maintaining the correctness of that code while loading and executing unknown code from other parties (see web browsers, and the last 20 years of security bugs related to plugins, extensions, addons, etc).

The user should be able to load 3rd party libraries in out of process sandboxes, transparently for applications which weren't written with that in mind. I am not asking for new programmer features, new end user / sys admin features in the loader.
