~/.emacs vs ~/.emacs.d/init.el |

With the recent introduction of `user-emacs-directory', I've been
wondering... Could someone please clarify the relation between these
things:
--user (option for Emacs)
init-file-user
~/.emacs. (also _emacs, .emacs.el, _emacs.el)
~USER/.emacs (is that possible on Windows?)
~/.emacs.d/init.el
~USER/.emacs.d/init.el (is that possible at all?)
I've read the info nodes "Init File", "Find Init" and "Initial
Options"; I've also looked at the code. I'm still not sure whether
emacs --user=another
should make ~another/.emacs.d/init.el possible, though the code
suggests that the answer is not (~/.emacs.d/ was hardcoded, and
`user-emacs-directory' does not change that), and I'm not sure why
(conceptually speaking).
