So now we are talking about changing the basic logic in
normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path and
normal-top-level-add-to-load-path? And maybe in subdirs.el as well?
We can, of course, do any or all of those, but we do need a
comprehensive picture of what needs to be done and how this stuff will
work when done, in all the relevant use cases. What we have now is a
long list of issues and a longer list of ideas how to solve them.
Like I said, a lot of loose ends that needs to be tied.
We are not ready. Not yet.
