hmmm ... in my experience, it's actually the exact opposite of what
path means :-) I would expect that the last item in a given list
would be the one to take priority as in the PATH environment
variable :-) That is, I go:
PATH=$PATH:/data/myscripts
not:
PATH=/data/myscripts:$PATH
when I want to add a new path that overrides the defaults.
