/* XXX To prevent a name collision with `readline's `tilde_expand',
   the original name: `tilde_expand' has changed to `tildexpand'. This
   situation naturally brings to mind that `tilde_expand' could be used
   directly from `readline' (since it will already be included if we
   wish to activate the `readline' support). Following implementation of
   'tilde expanding' has some problems which constitutes another good
   reason why it should be replaced: eg. it returns NULL which should
   not behave this way, IMHO.  Anyway... Don't care for the moment, may
   be in the future. -- ro */
