Tilde expansion on Win32

I noticed that we don't expand tildes in Win32 because of the use of
tilde in short versions of long file names:
char *expand_tilde(char **filename){    if (!filename || !(*filename))        return NULL;    /* MSDOS uses tilde for
shortversions of long file names, so skip it. */#ifndef WIN32    /* try tilde expansion */    if (**filename == '~')
{

However, I thought the tilde was usually used toward the end of the file
name, not at the beginning.  Is this true?  Should this code be modified?
