Shorten LocalAppDataLow

Could the current entry

userprofile\appdata\locallow %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow AppData\LocalLow

be shortened to

locallow %LocalAppData%Low AppData\LocalLow?

In windows %s just delimit a variable expansion so e.g. explorer's address bar will correctly interpret paths such as %LocalAppData%Low\BlueManchu.

While this a bit more confusing (to me at least) than the other builtin envars, it is more concise.

While a smart use of environmental variable expansion, implementing this would probably create unnecessary confusion since there is no actual environmental variable for LocalLow, and the use of %LocalAppData% would get most to assume that the files are stored in %LocalAppData% when in reality they're not.

Meanwhile all that it would provide us is with a slightly shorter path.

Yeah, fair enough.
