Wait, shouldn't local-appdata *always* be defined by Windows?

I was recently bitten by Emacs and Clojure not agreeing on where the
$HOME for placing those files would be (Emacs deciding to put it under
.../Roaming/... so it would be shared between machines or some such).

Plus, under Windows, it isn't so nice multiplying Unix-style config
files in the HOME directory (wherever it be).

enabling people like you to customize, but I admit we don't test
customizations as often, especially not on Windows.

May it die in peace and soon leave place to ASDF4. (No, I don't know
that anyone is working on an ASDF4.)
