I'm not sure I would call this a "feature" because I think of "features" as being intentional and if marssaxman is correct, this justification for shared library use was an accidental side effect.
But I have limited knowledge of the history behind dynamic linking. Hence my questions. I am just curious.
I like marssaxman's comment.
