  • Put the "Loading shared libraries" section first
    • Adjust formatting at the end of the section
  • In "Finding shared libraries", add more text about what's going on
  • Move the stub function doc for find_library into "Finding shared libraries"
    • Also move the related function, find_msvcrt. That's on the chopping block, but not removed now.

CLI review tip: you can ask Git to (un)highlight moved blocks of text:

git show --color-moved=dimmed-zebra --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change
