Would it be better to make something like func getXdg*(items = {XdgHome, XdgData, XdgTemp})

Because theres multiple paths in XDG_*; Then the pre-existent proc can be a template getHome*() = getXdg({XdgHome}).

timotheecour commented 3 years ago

but XDG doesn't translate to windows; that's why we're going for these instead: getHomeDir getTempDir getConfigDir getCacheDir getDataDir (no PR yet for this)

Are you sure ?. 🤔
