I suggest:
b2. Keep ##sys#expand-home-path, but make it the identity function.
Provide a procedure to expand ~ in pathnames.
That way, the security problem is removed, but we do not have to find
and fix every reference to ##sys#expand-home-path.

more learning and less vice; more constant work and less crime; more
leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of
the opportunities to cultivate our better natures. --Samuel Gompers
