Doesnt this defeat the object? We already can do this with a simple Config
block. The point of a Homedir is that you can always know the name and path
of the current job from wherever it is executed.

(BTW, by supplying the name too, it would allow the program to poke its own
binary on disk, eg for configuration purposes).
