.cmi files would be looked up exactly as they are now, using the search 
path specified with -I options. The only difference is that when it finds a 
"list.cmi" file it checks if that file is attached to "Core.Std". If the 
file is attached to that namespace then it is used, otherwise the compiler 
keeps looking in the search path for more "list.cmi" files.
