 As far as I can tell java.lang.foreign doesn't use `System.loadLibrary()` and one cannot be converted to another.

  Documentation in JDK says it is `dlopen()` for POSIX-like and `LoadLibrary()` for Windows (which is pity, as they requires very different arguments). But I cannot make it work on MacOS even with `dlopen()` rules.

  And I don't want to use full paths, as they are very OS-specific...
