The function USER_HOME_EXPAND expands an initial ~ in a filename to the user's home directory. It is used in several places and it seems worth promoting to a documented function.

USER_NAME_EXPAND is left, because we need this function very early during startup, in particular before functions like Error exist, so we have UserNameExpand with nice input checking which calls USER_NAME_EXPAND.

I think you nean UserHome rather than UserName (and USER_HOME rather than USER_NAME) in the comment above.

It is sensible to document this function as UserHomeExpand.

I have just sent another pull request #456 with a further iteration.
