In another message, Peter requested a "real life" example where
these commands are not sufficient. Here's one that I have encountered
several times. There is no convenient way to add a directory the end of
your search path. You have to RESET and ADD everything back.
On UNIX it's simple:
$ PATH=$PATH:newdirectory
Maybe we'll never see "PATH directory INSERT", but I'd sure like to have
"PATH directory APPEND".
