Default loading path for data? #800
Description
I saw one or two very old comments about having a default data path (like policy/data or just data), but it seems like there isn't one yet.
For me, this makes bundles hard to use effectively, because the bundle isn't enough, you need to make sure that the consuming conftest call adds a -d flag. If there was a default policy/data folder, then I could publish bundles and consume them easily. (Note: the --combine flag is one obstacle, but can deal with that problem later)

This seems reasonable to me. It would be straightforward to set default values for the

Hey, I want to pick up this issue.
Just a question on how the default value should be handled when loading data files if the default location doesn't exist? My current thought is to check when a folder not found error is thrown and then check if it is using the default path location and if so continue without throwing that error. Or would there be a better way?
