If you know the answer at compile time, you can use a macro, but I'm
guessing that you need a dynamic choice.

Dynamically, if you only need to extract a few values, you can use
`dynamic-require'. Alternately, package each driver into a unit and
dynamically select the one to invoke.

If you're working at the top level, I suppose that you could use
`eval' or `namespace-require', but I would avoid those.
