It would be useful for the name of the user who owns the initialization file that was loaded to be available in a global variable. This way, an init file could do something like (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name (concat "~" init-user "/bin")) load-path)) could be used in a way that could be loaded by other users (via the -user startup option), and the whole construction could be copied by one user from another user. This information is already calculated into the local variable 'init' in command-line in startup.el; I just want it turned into a global variable. Thanks, Dale
