The "complexity" mentioned in the discussion of this bug did not
allude to the size or complexity of the patch, it alluded to the
complexity this would add to Emacs and its development/maintenance:
where previously user-emacs-directory and the directory pointed to by
HOME in the environment were one and the same, now they will not be.

I think if we want to revisit this issue, we should come up with the
use cases where this feature would be useful, and see if they are
important enough to justify the price.  AFAIR, no use cases were
provided with the original request.

Thanks.
