Because this way there is one default dump file. Maybe it should be $home/lib/acme.dump But when i turn on my terminal it runs acme -l $home/acme.dump automatically. And before i turn it off i just press dump. If I need to preserve a state for longer i can do Dump otherfile. For me this seems the saner behaviour.
