1. see LOAD_PATH (http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/modules/)
2. this is not specifically supported, as far as I know. We could be fancy
and add a UUID to the package spec, or something like that, but I don't
think it is a very pressing concern right now. The simple options right now
are to manipulate LOAD_PATH to put the preferred package path(s) first (I
think this should work) or to manually `require` a specific path (which
won't work with `using`).

I have some general questions about using packages.
1. Is there a way to create a workspace separate of $HOME/.julia? This
would still have the same functionality when calling using in the REPL.
2. What's the best practice for packages with the same name? I don't have
a problem related to this but I'm just curious how this is handled. I think
via Pkg.add(...) there's only one definition of any package name, but with
Pkg.clone(...) I could see package name collisions. Having all the packages
under one directory doesn't seem scalable to me.
thanks
