To test this, I tried

    lib newrandom
    lib elizaprog

    eliza();

    Good day what is your problem?

    ? do you like running on an amd64
    DO YOU REALLY?
    ? do I really what
    DO YOU OFTEN TALK ABOUT YOURSELF?
    ? I was trying to talk about running on an amd64
    WHEN LAST DID YOU DISCUSS SOMEONE ELSE?
    ? Let's focus on your cpu
    WHAT DOES THAT SUGGEST TO YOU?
    ? Your new cpu allows you to have big addressess
    DO YOU LIKE USING LONG WORDS?

So it works!
