I never looked into hsplugins too carefully. Did it offer anything that Hint doesn't now offer?

The ability to load and unload compiled code in a running application? Perhaps hint offers that now ? Specifically, I believe you could have a function 'foo', and you could load a new version of 'foo' while the programming was running, and the running code would start using the new version instead.. I can't quite remember the details though. 'runtime linking' might be a term to describe it.. - jeremy
