No. You can see it in the archive[1]. Direct link[2].

So, omit =E2=80=9Cextension=E2=80=9D from the path options, append it to =
search for control files, and then append the directory value (if not =
absolute) if it exists to look for files, and otherwise append =
=E2=80=9Cextensions=E2=80=9D to find them, too. I think that makes =
sense.

Essentially it becomes a SHAREDIR search path.

Best,

David
