It seems to me  the only approach we should use for linkage - finding of 
procedures
by their names (in the given module). In this case we don't need recompile
programs for use a new version of a library. By the way, most link program s
perform lookup of procedures by names.

Thus, I think, loading of Quirks module is a two step process:

1. The loading of module itself (at this stage VM assigns ProcedureId-s 
to all procedures
    in the module.
2. The linking of the new modules with existing ones. At this stage we 
use procedure names
    for lookup procedures and make substitution for procedure Id-s in 
the call instrunctions.
