Indeed it explicitly says that "~" will be interpreted specially: Second arg DEFAULT-DIRECTORY is directory to start with if NAME is relative (does not start with slash or tilde); both the directory name and a directory's file name are accepted. So AIUI (expand-file-name "~") should be equivalent to (directory-file-name (expand-file-name "~/")). -- Basil
