Topic: Changing names when compiling to shared lib

When I run roc build --lib --output libapp.so on macos it outputs libapp.dylib and on linux it outputs libapp.so.0.1. Why does it automatically change the output instead of following the flag?

Cause I think we haven't wired through output to shared library building.

So it just always uses the default setting/name
