I guess base_directory_.BaseName() returns "Default" or "Profile 0" or etc. What
if the same user has their profile in different directories on different
computers?

[pastarmovj, 2016/11/02 13:39:25]

Yes this is a question we are still debating internally - if only the Default
profile or all profiles should get this ability. Meanwhile I added a comment to
indicate this issue here in the code.
