I can find the following conversation:

Vagn> Good choice. It also follows "tradition" because dirvars.el uses

I agree that it's a good tradition to use the same file names for
a package and its data files (dirvars.el -> .emacs-dirvars,
dir-locals.el -> .emacs-locals), but I don't see how this tradition
applies to package.el: package.el -> .emacs-settings.el?
This is confusing.
