It appears that the .loadlib fails silently on wrong paths. For example
Rakudo's perl6.pir contains the lines
{{{
.loadlib 'perl6_group'
.loadlib 'perl6_ops'
}}}
If I introduce a typo in the name perl6_ops in the second line, I get no
error message from the failed load, just from subsequent failures.
This makes diagnosis very hard, and IMHO a failed .loadlib should throw an
exception.
