--  ******
--  
--  Let's assume you want to open a local shared library \'foo\' (.\/libfoo.so)
--  offering a function
--    @char \* mogrify (char\*,int)@
--  and invoke @str = mogrify("test",1)@:
-- 
--  
--  type Fun = CString -> Int -> IO CString
--  foreign import dynamic unsafe fun__ :: FunPtr Fun -> Fun
-- 
--  withDL "libfoo.so" [RTLD_NOW] \$ \\ mod -> do
--     funptr <- dlsym mod "mogrify"
--     let fun = fun__ funptr
--     withCString "test" \$ \\ str -> do
--       strptr <- fun str 1
--       strstr <- peekCString strptr
--       ...
