Fixes #71 by expanding tilde (~) to the value of the home directory. Emulates the bash approach to tilde expansion.
This PR intentionally ignores the more complicated parts of how
bash
expands the tilde character, because I feel that path resolution using the PATH environment variable should not rely on any information about the current directory, or about the previous current directory. So,~/dir
works,~+/dir
does not.
