Heh, no you shouldn't: the '~' is expanded by the shell itself according
to its parameter expansion rules, so `cd` never sees the bare tilde
in this case ;-)

I have no say for the idea per se but you would have hard time using
bare tilda character for that precisely because of it being special to
Unix shells - you'd need to escape it all the time (though something
like unquoted @{~} would work just OK).
