Yeah, the /dev/null hack is why I would vote for no implicit
~/.mlton/mlb-path-map.
Although, I could be convinced that having any explicit -mlb-path-map
argument disables the implicit ~/.mlton/mlb-path-map would be good enough.
After all, one reason to use -mlb-path-map would be because you want to
document the MLB path variables, in which case, an empty file is
itself documentation.
