What should we do? Would it suffice to update the Emacs manual to say
that the init file is looked for in the home directory of $USER
instead of $HOME?
If you think the manual needs clarification, you're probably right.
However, isn't the node Find Init clear enough?
Perhaps the problem is that the node Init File makes a blanket statement
about using HOME, which in fact is true only in the usual case.
So that part could use rewriting.
Would you like to try it?
