Do you mean falling back to _normal isn't sensible, i.e. it's not worth
assuming you can specify an executable command or similar after the file
name, since it's unlikely the shell can handle it? It's not a particularly
sophisticated fallback, certainly.  It's possible you could think of a
better way of searching for finding a script in the path, which I guess
is the real intention.  Until someone does, this is probably going to
stay the best we've got.
