 * Helper functions
 
-  I have noticed that I refer to the combination of
+  I have some helper functions stored away in a separate file.
-  =user-emacs-directory= and "data/" a lot, so I wrote this function
-  to make referencing it cleaner. Also useful if I ever want to move
-  my data directory.

-    This is currently the data directory under the
-    `user-emacs-directory'."
-      (concat user-emacs-directory "data/" file-name))
-  #+END_SRC

-  I also wrote a test for it.
