+# The problem is that BQN is sort of like Nix: It only has the notion of direct
+# file imports. Unlike Nix, however, it doesn't even have a builtin notion of a
+# search path, so the design space is unconstrained. The most obvious solution
+# would be to implement some kind of search part ourselves. Unfortunately, there
+# is no portable way to access environment variables in BQN at the moment.
