[Suggestion] XDG conformance for .doctlcfg

[RankoKohime]

This would be a nice to have feature for those of us with OCD. :)

@RankoKohime are you talking about https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html ?

If so, I think it's a good idea.

I did neglect to put in that link, but yes, that is what I am referring to. :)

So, as I'm reading this, we'll have to add support for the XDG_* dirs, and default to the $HOME/.config equivalent if they don't exist. This should work, but I would like to figure out an answer for Windows before proceeding. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm up for it.

I think this comment sums it up better than I could. Although the appdirs module it refers to is python based, maybe it could be a good starting ground for all of the platforms?

[bryanl]

Still haven't stopped thinking about this. I've come to the conclusion this makes sense. Will be starting on this work soon. (vacation limiting of course)

Thank you @bryanl ! Much appreciated
