------------------------------------------------------------

I agree that by default we should not "process" the tilde character due to its special role in certain *Nix shells.

> The tilde ~ is a legal character in Unix and probably Windows file names. It does not mean the home directory. That is a *shell* convention independent of fiule paths and names.
