I think this has come up before (in some other thread that I can't
remember), but I'd like to raise it again in it's own thread.
Currently, the share directory has lots of subdirectories with files
therein. If you want to load something, you actually need to know the
subdirectory that it's in. I find this rather annoying. I'd like to
be able to say load("coolstuff") and have maxima look in the share
directory and load it up automatically.
There is precedence for this behavior: emacs does this, and CMUCL's
search-list extension allows you to do this.
Probably not for the upcoming release, but something to think about
for the next release. Opinions?
