Ah, right. Dive in too deeply and you can forget about underlying reasons.
The real underlying mechanism is of course (IIUC) the fact that there's only 1 
kdeinit5 instance running, meaning that each dlopen is only done once.


Makes you wonder what happens when it gets to dlopen a new version of a shared 
library, or one that's compatible with a library that was already loaded. But 
that's a different topic, one that clearly cannot arise on OS X.
