But what is the "sensible" directory in this case? I don't think we
can know it, because what it is depends on many factors we cannot
possibly take into consideration.
IMO, it's the other way around: any Lisp program that could
potentially trigger a subprocess, including compilation, should make
sure the default-directory is always valid.
