coconut version 2.2.0
xonsh version 0.13.4
coconut installed using pip - pip install -U coconut

Attempts to reference directories beginning with a '.' character (linux hidden directories) results in an error.
⇨ cd .local
cd: no such file or directory: .l

⇨ cp .xonshrc.now .xonshrc
cp: missing destination file operand after '.xonshrc.now'
Try 'cp --help' for more information.

xontrib unload coconut does not solve the problem.
xonsh --no-rc does not solve the problem
xontrib unload coconut does not solve the problem.
The only fix is to comment out the call to CoconutXontribLoader() in coconut/integrations.py

As a work around is it possible to not auto load coconut on xonsh startup but be able to xontrib load is if needed?
