The point I wanted to make is that whatever you do, there's always
something that may break.

Personally, I think that tilde expansion is meaningfull in interactive
context and should not be used in scripts and files, since there's a
better and more general mechanism available: $HOME.

Aside: The same goes for filename expansion and option abbreviations.
