Details:


Tilde expansion seems to work for :source but not for other commands like
:hardcopy or :layout dump. The support only seems to be mentioned in
fileio.c:findrcfile(). I looked at the RC_SOURCE case of process.c, and found
fileio.c:do_source(). But when I look at RC_HARDCOPY, most of the work seems
to be in fileio.c:WriteFile(). And in RC_LAYOUT for dumping and RC_READBUF,
they ultimately call fileio.c:secfopen().

Are there any plans to cover tilde expansion beyond findrcfile()?
