GLOB_TILDE


How shall we handle the case where in globbing with GLOB_TILDE set for

	~foo

foo is no valid user name?  What is if there is a file named ~foo?

The current implementation forgets about GLOB_TILDE if the user does
not exists and therefore will match an existing file (or return an
error if GLOB_NOCHECK is not set).  I think this is the correct way.
Do I miss something?
