Description
Proposal:
Enabling $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pdb/.pdbrc would let users keep their $HOMEs organized.
The order of discovery and execution of .pdbrc files would be:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pdb/.pdbrc~/.pdbrc./.pdbrc
- The choice of
/pdb/subdirectory under$XDG_CONFIG_HOMEis questionable. - Additional support of
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRSis questionable.
I could provide PR if this feature sounds reasonable.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked pull request gh-133733 and the existing PDB configuration-discovery entry point. Verify whether discovery and execution now cover $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pdb/.pdbrc, ~/.pdbrc, and ./.pdbrc in the stated order; done means the requested path behavior is implemented and any relevant checks pass.
