### Standards compliancy
A few common platform idioms are supported, some are custom to ST2 in lieu of existing standards:
| type | name | supported | comments |
|------------------------------------|
| env | **HTTP_PROXY=** | ✔ | - |
| dir | **.config/** | ✔ | [XDG](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html). Albeit symlinks to .cache remain here. (Tagged with .nobackup stubs however.) |
| dir | **.cache/** | ✔ | [XDG](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html). Just introduced in 2.2.2 to split temporary data from real config/plugins. |
| file | **.netrc** | ✔ | [LSB](https://linux.die.net/man/5/netrc). Also supporting **non-standard `~/.config/netrc` alternative**. |
