For consistency with std.algorithm.cmp and std.string.icmp, on which it 
is based.  I'd be open for other suggestions if people think it should be 
changed.

Nope, as specified in the docs it is a no-op on Windows.  As Nick points 
out, it is not obvious what is the correct "home directory" on Windows.  
Moreover, and perhaps even more importantly, there is no precedence for 
the tilde character to mean "home directory" on Windows at all.
