No it wasn't.  Given whatever core an extension is loaded into, the
extension grabs the function table from the core it is loaded into.

Say for example I build all of Tcl statically into my application (kinda
dumb, but let's just say).  If I try to load an extension into it, where is
it supposed to get the Tcl functions it needs?  Do you see the issue Stubs
solves?

PS. try that setup with BLT and see why Stubs is a life saver for those in
the know.
