Could it be because I run to main and then load the other symbols? Also I forgot to mention why I added the cast:

```
Something clearly happens to the previous symbols. Maybe they are removed and we know enough to say that `return_ptr` is a function but no more than that and the expression evaluator does its best to make it work.
