The default paths used to store configuration files and persistent data are not consistent across Emacs packages. This isn't just a problem with third-party packages but even with built-in packages.

This package sets out to fix this by changing the values of path variables to put files in either `no-littering-etc-directory' (defaulting to "~/.emacs.d/etc/") or `no-littering-var-directory' (defaulting to "~/.emacs.d/var/"), and by using descriptive file names and subdirectories when appropriate.
