So if "semanage fcontext -l" doesn't produce an ordered listing, is 
there any way from userland to get one, one that encompasses both the 
base policy and any added modules or context objects added using semanage?

I take it as read that semanage-added objects and the file contexts from 
policy module packages (.pp files) are seen as "later" in the list than 
the base file_contexts file, but which has precedence for 
semanage/semodule? Last one in? Does it make a difference whether 
"semodule -i" or "semodule -u" are used?
