So should it check for "~/Downloads/" first (and maybe perhaps a few
other popular directory names in other languages), and unless that
hasn't been found load xdg.el and call xdg-user-dir? In the worst case,
the user doesn't have a download directory and $HOME is actually where
they want their files to land.
