I'd rather see something like...

~/Library/CrudDirectory/AppName/crud_files

This way I wouldn't get a whole crudload of crud in my Library directory either  
(which I use a lot.)  Maybe someone could come up with a better name than  
CrudDirectory though :-)  Probably next would have to pick a name.

I think this is a splendid idea in general, and if I had ever written an app  
which put "invisible" files in home directories, I'd be changing them now.

However, most of those crud files contain nothing that couldn't be better dealt  
with by using next's default system.  I implore all application writers to use  
the defaults system when it is appropriate instead of littering my drive with  
little .* files.
