Yeah. I was thinking "value" and writing "variable" instead (or
perhaps I meant to write "variable value" and accidentally'd the last
word again).

This comment came up in previous iterations. I perform explicit
expansion to make sure we don't apply wildcards on the expanded "~".
But I guess going with expand_user_path() is better (less confusion
for future readers). We can come back to it when that "don't apply
wildcards" concern becomes real.

Yeah I don't see a third include coming soon and did not go with that.
Let's way for it and refactor then.
