Slang = subset of Smalltalk that can be converted to C, right = I can
imagine how to write "faster" code this way, i.e. code that CAN run in
an interpreted way, but is faster when compiled via C.

But how can I access the oracle client libs from Slang ? I mean, this
code could not possibly run in an interpreted way.
