Noticed, that'd why I adjusted the bug report accordingly.
The Login shells are exception. Other programs would better use
~/.<program>/
An example: my $HOME contains
ls -a | grep '^\.' | wc -l
204
Any help managing that is welcomed. There are benefits in separate dirs:
- backup by directory
- version control by directory
- ignore directories from searches; find(1) etc.

---------------------------------------------------
Clarification to the previous bug report. wcd(1) contains
variable WCDHOME, so please treat (*) marked as follows:
Please store all files under user defined environment variable:
*) forget this
WCD_ROOT
*) implement this
When undefined, program would default to:
$HOME/.wcd/
*) implement these
ERROR CONDITIONS
If WCD_ROOT does not exist, program terminates and displays an error.
If default directory $HOME/.wcd/ does not exist, it is created. This
is typical behaviour (Cf. ~/.mozilla/ ~/.opera/ ...).
