I noticed that we don't expand tildes in Win32 because of the use of
tilde in short versions of long file names:

        char *
        expand_tilde(char **filename)
        {
            if (!filename || !(*filename))
                return NULL;
        
            /* MSDOS uses tilde for short versions of long file names, so skip 
it. */
        #ifndef WIN32
        
            /* try tilde expansion */
            if (**filename == '~')
            {

However, I thought the tilde was usually used toward the end of the file
name, not at the beginning.  Is this true?  Should this code be modified?


If you talking about WIn32 ~ they are typically in the middle. Like:

program files === progra~1
