Perhaps. I think all mention of "$HOME expansion" should be
replaced with "tilde expansion", though. I first thought we are
expanding any environment variable and $HOME is merely an example of
it when I read the title and the log message, before seeing that the
patch just adds a call to expand_user_path().
Other than that, looks good. Thanks for a quick enhancement and a
review.
