Hello,

I was converting a bash script to fish and noticed that the pwd command 
in fish doesn't expand the ~ character. For example:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cd devel
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/devel]$ pwd
~/devel

in bash:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/devel]$ bash
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/devel$ pwd
/home/sbe/devel
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/devel$

is there a reason for this difference?

(Axel, thanks for making a sane shell. It is good to see someone have a 
go at improving on the design of the traditional unix-style shell and 
fixing some of its fundamental flaws).

cheers,
