Yes it makes sense to let-bind `image-load-path' in my own code but it is not so easy for libraries which are part of Emacs for example. Do you suggest that I change the default value of `image-load-path' in my init file? So perhaps making `image-load-path' customizable would be a good idea? > I think there are some potentially wierd implications of searching > load-path first. I don't see them.
