-   Planning to update spacemacs to latest.
    -   As noted recently, usually something breaks in this process.
    -   So I'll look at ways to do this with minimal disruption.
    -   I think trying to do it using multiple config directories seems a good approach.
        -   That'll be useful for if I ever want to run spacemacs and Doom side-by-side, too, for example, or my own vanilla Emacs.
    -   One issue to resolve first - you need Emacs 29 for the –init-directory flag.  I'm still on 28.1.
        -   OK, I'll try and tackle that first.
