 There is a problem with (require) that is admittedly rare.  If you are in
 a directory:
 $ ls
 foo foo.so

 attempting to (require 'foo) will load the "foo" executable instead of
 "foo.so".  However, in the case below:
 $ ls
 foo

 attempting to (require 'foo) correctly results in an error.

 The reason is that ##sys#find-extension returns "foo" in both cases and
 then ##sys#load attempts to load the literal path before appending any .so
 or .scm extension.  That works unless an executable is in the way.  The
 root cause is that find-extension knows the exact path but doesn't pass
 that on to load.

 Priority minor because this shouldn't affect installed extensions, just
 development files in the current directory.
