But, as I see it, this isn't a special case, and to view it as such is
incorrect. The common requirement is that an optional device driver needs to be
implicitly loaded by an application which needs that optional device. The
applciation should be able to only know the name of the device it needs. The
user shouldn't need to do some special system configuration so that an
application which he uses but doesn't intimately understand can work. The name
of any as yet undefined device, therefore, needs to be passed through the
system for preprocessing and preparation.
