Since bash 5.2, enable mkdir is equivalent to enable -f mkdir mkdir.
But, if you use the -n flag, and mkdir is not a loaded builtin, it will
also be equivalent to enable -f mkdir mkdir (so the -n flag is
ignored), and the newly loaded foo will be enabled instead of disabled:
I think that this is not intended and that, if the -n flag is specified,
enable should only try to disable all the loadable builtins named as the
argument, and skip, with a warning message, arguments that are not
loaded builtins; instead of trying to load (as enabled) arguments, that
are not loaded builtins, from files in the current directory and
BASH_LOADABLES_PATH as it does now.
Hmmmm. That's not the only option. How about we load it if found but mark
it as not enabled? It will still take `enable -d' to delete it.
