emacs: Tutorial state(s) directory
adb6aa7 
The emacs tutorial (C-x t) can save your position in the
tutorial. State is saved in a tutorial/ directory according to the
language of the tutorial state, such as:
emacs.d/tutorial/English.tut

It is probably rare for someone using no-littering.el to save tutorial
state.

I mistakenly used tutorial-directory which is where the tutorial itself is stored (in its various languages). I should have used tutorial--saved-dir which yields the directory where saved states are kept. Unfortunately tutorial--saved-dir is a function intended for internal use (manual) and not intended to be customized and so should stay out of no-littering.el. You can still customize it but you must require tutorial.el before redefining tutorial--saved-dir or else it will get clobbered:

(require 'no-littering)
(require 'tutorial)
(defun tutorial--saved-dir () (no-littering-expand-var-file-name "tutorial/"))

This works for me in my init file but I don't know enough to say whether it is technically undefined behavior.
