We should document what that "very early" means in practice. Does it
mean in the early-init file? or can this be done reliably in the
normal init file as well?
The problem here is that some defcustom's refer to
user-emacs-directory, and so changing the value of
user-emacs-directory after those defcustoms were computed during
startup will leave those defcustoms pointing at the old place.
