I think it's a fool's errand to try to invent a single system

that's blindly applied across the board. We should have some

etc.)
for the sake of overall consistency, but we should consider
each name on
a case-to-case basis and make appropriate exceptions where it
makes more
sense ("tildeExpanded" sounds much better than
"withExpandTilde" or
"expandTildeOf" or "expandedTilde", for example).

I think the alternatives you gave show that you are right about
this. Everything should be done on a case-by-case basis with the
schemes mentioned being just some ideas you could choose from to
help find a good name.
