Shankar,

Can you give provide a scenario where you want this?  I’m not sure what you want here.

This sounds like you want config-time choices (e.g. build a linker to only support ELF/x86 such as for a JIT).

This sounds like you want everything decided at runtime (e.g. all flavors registers all readers).
