+# The other four XDG directories are very easy, but XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is

+# systemd, in order to meet all of the XDG Base Directory specification's
+# requirements? In particular, the directory is supposed to come into being
+# when you log in, live as long as you have any active sessions, and be
+# destroyed when you log out - none of this can easily be done from the shell
+# environment alone, especially on an operating system like macOS where your
+# graphical session wasn't spawned from a shell using something like .xinitrc.
+#
+# We're going to assume XDG_RUNTIME_DIR will have already be set by a
+# systemwide supervisor if it can possibly have been. If it hasn't - say,
+# because we're on macOS - we'll compromise by using TMPDIR. Since TMPDIR has
+# a different lifetime than XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is supposed to, this is an
