Hello Simon,

Thanks for the explanations, and for the links giving some context.

Okay.  I'm glad we agree on that.  :)  For lack of a $XDG_STATE_HOME.

But I wonder: what should nano do if there is both a ~/.nanorc file
and a $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nano/nanorc file?  Should the first eclipse
the latter, or the other way around?
