/// report their errors via `dlerror`. This closure may return either `None` or `Some(*)` to
/// further affect operation of this function.
///
/// In case the `closure` returns `None`, `with_dlerror` inspects the `dlerror`. `dlerror` may
/// decide to not provide any error description, in which case `Err(None)` is returned to the
/// caller. Otherwise the `error` callback is invoked to allow inspection and conversion of the
/// error message. The conversion result is returned as `Err(Some(Error))`.
///
/// If the operations that report their errors via `dlerror` were all successful, `closure` should
/// return `Some(T)` instead. In this case `dlerror` is not inspected at all.
///
/// # Notes
///
/// The whole `dlerror` handling scheme is done via setting and querying some global state. For
/// that reason it is not safe to use dynamic library loading in MT-capable environment at all.
/// Only in POSIX 2008+TC1 a thread-local state was allowed for `dlerror`, making the dl* family of
/// functions possibly MT-safe, depending on the implementation of `dlerror`.

/// In practice (as of 2020-04-01) most of the widely used targets use a thread-local for error
/// state and have been doing so for a long time.

    // if any other library called `dlerror` internally concurrently with `libloading` things would
    // still go awry.

    // On platforms where `dlerror` is still MT-unsafe, `dlsym` (`Library::get`) can spuriously
