I might be missing something, but I think that's a bad idea. Calling
this method on a KLibrary object leaves the object in a completely
unusable state. The factory pointer becomes a dangling pointer (crashes ahead) 
and the handle the library holds becomes invalid. The object pretty much
becomes unusable, and there's no way to make it usable again. The
only thing one can do is destructing the object. And surprise, guess
what destructing a KLibrary object does? It closes the library ;-)
