There are still some cases where you may want a `collection-paths`
function instead though. For example, it would be useful for
`raco-find-collection` so that when a user asks for `typed-racket`, it
can pick a better default than the alphabetic ordering.
(right now you have to ask for `typed-racket/core` to disambiguate,
which corresponds to using `collection-file-path`)
For my purposes, I could just copy+paste the code in the compiler-lib,
but maybe it should be moved into the core?
