Perhaps gambas needs to implmenet a class to represent a shared library
object via a gb.ld.so (or gb.dll in an eventual windows environment)
component that provides access to the unix (or windows) shared library
objects (via dlopen).

This may be a useful addition rather than having to add gb.xxx.yyy.zzz for
every exotic library that one might want to use within a gambas project.

It may also be a way to access obscure library functions not currently
supported by gambas, like the ability in the Qt libs to be able to track
the mouse anywhere on the screen.
