Because this way there is one default dump file.
Maybe = it should be $home/lib/acme.dump
But when i turn on my terminal it runs = acme -l $home/acme.dump
automatically. And before i turn it off i just p= ress dump.
If I need to preserve a state for longer i can do
Dump otherfile. For me= this seems the saner behaviour.

tl;dr I'm against your patch, s= orry

That seems even more magical, I think.

= I've been running with Dump's $HOME lookup changed to $PWD for a fe= w days now with nary a glitch.
Unless someone tells me otherwise = I'll start pushing for a patch :-)

Can anyone explain to me the rationale of Du= mp dropping acme.dump in $HOME instead of $PWD?

alternatively, if started with acme -l dumpfile, why not write it back to t= he same file?
