Can gc load a cgo plugin [1]? If so, could you build therecipe/qt into a plugin and load it at runtime to avoid being forced to use cgo?

E.g. your project has `type Qt interface {`, and the plugin exports a global symbol that can be asserted to that interface to use the library.

It could probably work, but plugins currently only work on linux.
