Right, thanks.  This is much better.

The question is how important is it to support cases where the
directory is not under ~/.emacs.d/tree-sitter/, but somewhere else,
perhaps created specifically for running the tests without affecting
the production sessions?  If that's not very important, then
supporting just the HOME case should be enough.
