<p dir="auto">According to the documents, as well as the behavior of previous versions, <code class="notranslate">JULIA_LOAD_PATH</code> shall append to <code class="notranslate">LOAD_PATH</code> instead of replace it, however, with Julia 1.0.1, this is not the case. Below is a minimal example, (<code class="notranslate">julia-1.0</code> is just an alias to my Juila 1.0.1 installation, I have multiple versions on the system).</p>
