"~" is an acronym that UNIX shells understand. It's not part of a  
path specification. GNU Emacs seems to do the right thing in some  
instances. Using the expand-file-name function, let's say ten times  
in ~/.emacs, wastes after a few thousand launches a measurable amount  
of time and energy – and conserves far more when you don't protect/ 
expand ~. What is ~ meaning in Losedos? What is C:\ meaning in UNIX?  
Or classic Mac OS 8 or 9?
