I think what would be really useful would be a redirect, i.e. the IDE

expands macros in the line it contains to have the same effect as -pcp.
The version as macro on the path, will break if people update that
installation
But things already do break if moving between versions- I might be
moving over a more extreme span than most (in order to be able to
compile for GTK etc.) but I fairly regularly find myself deleting
~/.lazarus.
And it does not help, if you have twice the same version
If the redirect file contains a single line like
~/.lazarus-$LAZVER-$FPCVER the worst that will happen is that the user
will have to consent to it being created from a template.
