of course that `sage` isn't already in `PATH`. And of course there would
also be a "Do not ask again" button. I haven't gotten around to this yet,
so if you think it's a bad idea then you can go ahead and review this.

That's part of why I haven't gotten to it yet. I'm not sure how to
clearly ask the question. You're probably right that it's better to split
this into a new ticket. I was planning to do it, but it's harder than I
thought (not technically, but design-wise).
> By the way, I use .profile to add things to the path. Just sayin'.
Good point. Yet another thing to confuse them with :-)
