The difficulty with dotfiles is presuming that novice users with no
mastery can set up the code in the dotfile easily.

For those with mastery what is really needed is an automatic set up
type of thing requiring no previous experience. The limits of
knowledge for those with mastery extends to not being able to make
it ever easier and straight forward.
