 I looked at ticket #220, and had a few more suggestions to bindctl.

 First, we should document that when have a variable named `dir` that it
 '''must''' have os.sep (usually '/') at the end.

 Second, if `_get_saved_user_info` has an error of some kind, it should
 probably report it, rather than silently returning empty information. This
 sort of behavior can be very frustrating for users!

 I don't know if it is critical or not, but it might be safer when writing
 a file to write to a temporary file and then rename it to the "real" file.
 That way if there is an error (like a full disk) we are never left with a
 partially-written file.

 Finally, what does the `traceback.print_exc()` output look like? I would
 prefer not to give users output that is for developers, but I don't know
 how this looks.
