in reply to retrieve libs symbols with DynaLoader

The documentation for DynaLoader says:

The exact manner in which the address is returned in $symref is not currently defined.

I take that to mean "Don't rely on it." That bothers me a bit, but the only time I've used it, I've passed it immediately to DynaLoader::dl_install_xsub(), as the documentation suggests.
