And the *good* reason why you should be able to dlopen("libc.so") is?

Do you also want the loader to guess that when I do
dlopen("foobaz.so") it should dlopen() "foobar.so" instead, because
the latter is present and former isn't -- clearly I made a typo
(i.e. "do what I mean, not what I say").

Because no one believes this is necessary or desirable (except you,
that is).
