One might, but then the handling of $fpath would be inconsistent with
$path, $module_path, $manpath, etc.; and more importantly, the order
of entries in the array is signficant in case the same file name (with
different implementation) appears in more than one directory.

Quite so. However tiresome it is to read the variable, I can see that a precise order would need to be defined. I had thought that the above idea would apply to any variable that references files and directories but I see that that wouldn't be a good idea. A bad idea demolished is a particularly effective lesson. I learned quite a bit today.
