Keep in mind that the paths are not recursive, i.e. they don't go into
subfolders. I find this very annoying as well. The reason this exists in
only because of nameclashes in externals (so that you can choose which
version of [wrap] you want to load, for example). The trouble that this
non-recursive searching causes is really so great, I wonder why
namespaces aren't used instead (i.e. [iemlib_wrap]). But I've mentioned
this before, and since I don't have time to implement it myself I guess
I'll have to live with it ;-)
best,
derek
