Hm. Please teach here why :) 
dlsym returns "void *"? And that could not be "reinterpreted" to the supposed 
type?

Would it be an idea then to mark such needed C-style cast with a makro, to 
make it distinct from wrong use? E.g.
  SupposedType var = kmodule_cast(SupposedType)( SomeSymbol );
given
  #define kmodule_cast(x) (x)
perhaps?
