+{- | Returns the current user's document directory.
+
+The directory returned is expected to be writable by the current user,
+but note that it isn't generally considered good practice to store
+application-specific data here; use 'getAppUserDataDirectory'
+instead.
+
+On Unix, 'getUserDocumentsDirectory' returns the value of the @HOME@
+environment variable.  On Windows, the system is queried for a
+suitable path; a typical path might be 
+@C:\/Documents and Settings\/user\/My Documents@.
+
+The operation may fail with:
+
+* 'UnsupportedOperation'
+The operating system has no notion of document directory.
+
+* 'isDoesNotExistError'
+The document directory for the current user does not exist, or
+cannot be found.
