Please: could someone do that? Er, well, "init" seems ... wrong. It's used for more than "init files". I agree. "config" is also wrong; this is not just used for configurations. In fact, the current name `user-emacs-directory' seems the best of those three. I agree, but it is a minor point and the name has prior art... How so?
