I am no longer sure that enabling `file-name-shadow-mode' by default is really a good idea. (_Not_ because it would be difficult: it could easily be done using `custom-reevaluate-setting' in startup.el, even without any changes to define-minor-mode.)
The problem is a comment in rfn-eshadow.el: ;; This is not really a correct implementation; it won't always do the ;; right thing in the presence of environment variables that ;; substitute-in-file-name would expand; currently it just assumes any ;; environment variable contains an absolute filename. In other words, rfn-eshadow.el assumes that the value of _every_ environment variable is an absolute file name and it yields very confusing results when other environment variables are used in file names, say "/home/$USER".
