The docs say that it does nothing on Windows: "For Windows, expandTilde()
merely returns its argument inputPath."
This is probably for the best because the Windows equivilent to "/home/user"
can be one of a number of different locations depending on what exactly
you're storing. If expandTilde did work on Windows, then no matter what it
expanded to, it would be wrong at least half the time.
