+How to make library functions available to manifest, explorer, etc.
+
+Some ideas / background:
+
+   - do not have the user to source $__lib/foo if not needed
+   - have $__cdist_lib for internal stuff (probably referring to core/)
+
+Implementation:
+
+load_lib()
+{
+   . $__cdist_lib/*
+}
+
+run_code_from_user()
+{
+   load_lib
+   . file_from_user
+}
