I don't think (with-input-from-file (expand-path "~/foo") read) is less
convenient than (with-input-from-file "~/foo" read expand-path: #t)
Not to mention that the latter is an awkward extension to the standard.
Finally, a flag would also need to go everywhere a path is accessed
(including file-open, directory, directory?, call-with-input-file, etc...)
unless you make it a parameter (which would be slower, if I'm not
mistaken).
Cheers,
Peter
