I'm not talking about dynamic linking, but dynamic loading.
This allows more control over which versions of a dynamic
library are supported and helps to avoid DLL hell.
To clarify, static bindings can be used when linking both
statically and dynamically. Dynamic bindings have no link-time
dependency at all and are used to load a dynamic library manually
at runtime.
