I recently installed XQuartz 2.7.8 on an El Capitan 10.11.1 system. I asked
Apple tech support about this (didn't get a definitive answer...they thought
maybe it was some way of identifying a file version): what is the significance of the '40-' prefix of the file '/etc/paths.d/40-Xquartz'? 'udev' on Linux uses numeric prefixes to control the order in which 'udev' processes configuration files; do the numeric prefixes of path_helper files control the order in which
path statements are appended to the system PATH? If numeric prefixes are
a feature of path_helper is that aspect of path_helper files documented
anywhere?
