Research direction

Start by reading issue #98 and its seven-comment discussion in the msys2/msys2.github.io repository. Before implementation, clarify whether the request concerns an MSYS2 product change or homepage documentation; the work is done only when the requested portable behavior and home-directory naming outcome are explicitly defined.
