/// further affect operation of this function.
///
/// In case the `closure` returns `None`, `with_dlerror` inspects the `dlerror`. `dlerror` may

/// 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.

///
/// 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`.
