When the compiler is invoked, it is not only possible to specify how to
discover the first element of a path, but it is possible to specify path prefix
remappings so that e.g. ``github.com/ethereum/dapp-bin/library`` is remapped to
``/usr/local/dapp-bin/library`` and the compiler will read the files from there. If
remapping keys are prefixes of each other, the longest is tried first. This
``/usr/local/dapp-bin/library`` and the compiler will read the files from there.
If multiple remappings can be applied, the one with the longest key is tried first. This
allows for a "fallback-remapping" with e.g. ``""`` maps to
``"/usr/local/include/solidity"``. Furthermore, these remappings can
depend on the context, which allows you to configure packages to
