... for the purpose of "populate 'compiled' directories" --- but only if
the user has write permission for the package directory.
This change may or may not be a good idea. The idea is that installed
packages generally should be treated in the same way as the main
"collects" tree (e.g., avoiding debugging instrumentation), but if you
happen to be developing a package, then you want it treated like things
that are not in the main "collects" tree. So, how do you pick? Maybe
opening a file in the package is a good way to pick.
