As a patch to "apply", this is perfectly good, but in the larger
picture, the value of the patch is in getting rid of mksnpath, isn't
it?

I am tempted to

 - queue it on rs/retire-mksnpath topic branch

 - remove the mention of mksnpath in contrib/vscode/init.sh (I think
   it is registering non-words to spell checker, so having an extra
   entry there would not hurt, but it would more likely to be a typo
   of mkpath than before this patch retires mksnpath function).

 - ask you to come up with a title with more focus on mksnpath than
   on apply.

Thanks.
