It's already there. And it is XDG complaint. The question here is about
order (what takes priority).

Can you point me to the XDG specification that requires it ? It was mentioned by Lenart on the bug, but he later clarified his comment[1].

So this came up again recently here:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2017-August/013938.html

(see the full thread)

And I even promised to merge the proposed spec addition there, but
never actually did that. Maybe I really should now...

Adding invisible directories to a user's PATH is putting esthetics over
security and is the wrong thing to do.

I have no problem with ~/bin/ but feel a bit reserved about ~/local/bin/
as ~/local might not be obvious to the user as an added binary containing
directory.
