Yes, but you can't do that if you can't start the database or can't
connect for some reason. If people don't think it is worthwhile, we can
delete the TODO item.
For example, when someone has trouble figuring out which directory is
which database, they can just ls and look at the symlinks. Seems like a
nice feature.
