Some packages put files directly in user-emacs-directory or $HOME or in a
subdirectory of either of the two or elsewhere. Furthermore sometimes file
names are used that don’t provide any insight into what package might have
created them. This package sets out to fix this by changing the values of
path variables to put configuration files in no-littering-etc-directory
(defaulting to “etc/” under user-emacs-directory, thus usually
“$HOME/.config/emacs/etc/”) and persistent data files in
no-littering-var-directory (defaulting to “var/” under
user-emacs-directory, thus usually “$HOME/.config/emacs/var/”), and by
using descriptive file names and subdirectories when appropriate.
