Description

I spent a while trying to figure out why I was only getting panics trying to follow examples from the docs. I finally narrowed it down to this bit of code:

https://github.com/XAMPPRocky/fluent-templates/blob/66f53a7fc1e165012897861888647f75765a1d50/tests/template.rs#L21

The path from this test tests/locales from the test and examples works, but using "./" or any other iteration I can think of to use $CWD to look for resources ends in a panic.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the ArcLoader implementation to understand why it panics when no top level directory is provided. Focus on the load or resource lookup logic to identify the missing directory handling.
