/* This loader opens a directory as a library.  In the long run, the idea is
 * that one folder will have all of objects files, all of the related
 * *-help.pd files, a file with meta data for the help system, etc.  Then to
 * install the lib, it would just be dropped into extra, or the path anywhere.
 *
 * Ultimately, the meta file will be read for meta data, specifically for
 * the auto-generated Help system, but for other things too.  Right now,
 * its just used as a marker that a directory is meant to be a library.
 * Plus its much easier to implement it this way, I can use
 * open_via_path() instead of writing a new function.  The grand plan is
 * to have one directory hold the objects, help files, manuals,
 * etc. making it a self-contained library. hans@at.or.at

--- NEW FILE: TODO ---
- implement [classpath] which adds a path to the global path, like what
  [declare -stdpath] does.  The idea is that the global path serves as a
  Java-style classpath. and the local path serves as the namespace.
- inlet accepts bang to output classpath on outlet
  - inlet accepts messages to add items to the classpath
  - follows same interface as [textfile], [qlist]
- implement [import] which adds the libdir path to the canvas path, similar
  [declare -lib] does, except that it only looks in the global path (aka
  classpath)
- inlet accepts bang to output canvas path on outlet
  - inlet accepts messages to add items to the canvas path
  - follows same interface as [textfile], [qlist]
- make [libdir] load libdirs when they are called with [import] and [declare
  -lib] and [declare -stdlib].
- [libdir] loader should only add the libdir to the helppath, not the
  additional doc/5.reference path to the helppath.  The idea is that libdirs
  are self-contained.
