If you try to add a directory that doesn't exist to your PATH using a
copy of fish built from the current darcs source, you get a whole lot
of confusing errors:

set: Could not add component /foo to PATH.
set: Value too large to be stored in data type

Not only does this not explain what the problem is, but you get it
repeated a whole bunch of times. (Every time fish launches a subshell,
I think) The Right Thing To Do would seem to be to have a sensible
error message (set: Directory does not exist) displayed exactly once.
