And, this isn't a variable but a constant, since I think it doesn't make sense to let the user customize it. So I'm hoping you will agree that it is ok to leave it as-is. If users should not change it, I agree with you. +@defvar user-emacs-directory +This variable holds the name of the @file{.emacs.d} directory. It is +ordinarily @file{~/.emacs.d}, but differs on some platforms. + It needs @end defvar, but aside from that it is good.
