That's quite interesting. I need to find out more about how symbol names
get resolved. I would've naively thought that if you had the same
function/symbol name in two files called libqhull.so and _
qhull.cpython-310-linux.so then they would resolve separately, doesn't the
loader use the library file name to find the symbols?
