| Additionally, while it should be possible to execute parallel and | ||
| distributed code from a loaded Chapel library, it is possible that certain | ||
| (combinations of) features may be bugged and fail to work correctly. |
| Do note that only ``export`` procedures may be called from the library. This | ||
| restriction may be removed in the future. | ||

Is there a way a user might run into this? Or is this something only a developer would encounter after modifying the runtime? If it's the latter, I'd recommend moving this into a comment.

Hi Ben, it's something a user could run into if they build from source.

| This feature is highly unstable (even more than the rest of this module). | ||
| As of the 2.9 release, it is only supported when ``CHPL_COMM=gasnet`` and | ||
| ``CHPL_LIB_PIC=pic``. Safety checks have not been added yet, so dynamically | ||
| loaded code may break in unexpected ways if these constraints are not met. |

I thought it was also possible with CHPL_COMM=none?

Oh, shoot. Totally fixated on configurations with comm when I wrote that.

I wouldn't break the freeze over this, but it should be fixed on main asap imo
