Description

Using the ArcLoader is really picky and I'm having a hard time setting it up for use (adding Fluent functions to a tera CLI). The shared resources feature works, as do fallback locales. The trouble is neither work if a directory in the locales path does not exist for every possible locale variant that might be used. Even if the message data would otherwise fall back to another locale or the shared resources, an empty directory needs to exist to stuff the bundles.

c.f. #41

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how ArcLoader currently handles locale directory paths and modify it to gracefully handle missing directories by using fallbacks without requiring an empty directory.
