Subject: 27.0.91; Manual is inconsistent about default init file location
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2020 07:23:36 -0300

The manual at [[info:emacs#Find Init]] says:

       Emacs can also look in an XDG-compatible location for ‘init.el’,
    the default is the directory ‘~/.config/emacs’.  This can be
    overriden by setting ‘XDG_CONFIG_HOME’ in your environment, its
    value replaces ‘~/.config’ in the name of the default XDG init file.
    However ‘~/.emacs.d’ and ‘~/.emacs’ are always preferred if they
    exist, which means that you must delete or rename them in order to
    use the XDG location.

However, at [[info:emacs#Init File]] it says:

    When Emacs is started, it normally tries to load a Lisp program from
    an “initialization file”, or “init file” for short.  This file, if
    it exists, specifies how to initialize Emacs for you.  If the file
    ‘~/.config/emacs/init.el’ exists, it is used as the init file;
    otherwise Emacs may look at ‘~/.emacs.el’, ‘~/.emacs’,
    ‘~/.emacs.d/init.el’, or other locations.  *Note Find Init::.

So [[info:emacs#Find Init]] says that `~/.emacs.d' and `~/.emacs' are
preferred, while [[info:emacs#Init File]] says that
`~/.config/emacs/init.el' is preferred.

Yes, that is indeed inconsistent, I missed that part of the manual
when flipping the XDG preference.

I thought this would be a simple change, but as ever the rabbit hole
was deep. Based on testing '~/.emacs.el' is preferred to '~/.emacs',
is that expected? Anyway, I came up with the following:
