By default, `setxkbmap` searches for. files within `/usr/share/X11/xkb`. Is
there any way to make it in order search into
`{$HOME/.local,/usr/local,/usr}/shareX11/xkb`.

My current setxkbmap inside my `~/.xinitrc` looks like this:

    setxkbmap -compat custom -keycodes custom custom shift

I would like to be able to use something like this without having to
pollute the `/usr/share` namespace with custom files like
`/usr/share/X11/xkb/{compat,keycodes,symbols}/custom`

Using `-I ~/.local/share/X11/xkb` which I tried to add in front of it does
not seem to work even with a fully copied directory structure.
