The first path element corresponds to the default loadablesdir as
distributed.
It feels like this could probably stand to be a teensy bit smarter at
autodetecting unusual prefixes.
Maybe. Or maybe we wait to see if it's a problem before we rush to try
and fix it.
Distributions always have the option of supplying a default value for
BASH_LOADABLES_DIR in one or more startup files.
