It is not.
The folder that it points to is not a home directory and should not

Hi Felix,
You have described your own style of using
some of the Window's Known Folders. In my
opinion your style is a bit Unixy, but that's fine,
you should be allowed to do it that way in GHC.
But GHC should not force others to do it only that way.
btw, years ago I used to use the Profile

Removing support for %HOME% has suddenly broken many
programs. If people don't like it, we can consider
deprecating it in some future version of GHC, but for now
