Subject: Load paths
Getting time to think about this. Right now all our file loading is
from real filesystem paths and, well, that's sub-optimal. Time to
think about load paths.

We could just go with the dull "list of directories" approach, but
that's already shown to be sub-optimal--people want to wedge in
archives, code blocks, sockets, and other bizarre things. So what do
we want to do?

At the moment I'm thinking of the load path as an array of subs that
get passed in the file being looked for and return... something. I'm
not sure what, though.

I'm also not sure if load_bytecode and other ops should search the
path at all, or if they should take absolute locations, with all the
searching done by provided (but guaranteed) library code. (I think I
like this one as well)

Discussion time, I think.
