+    The handling of "~" in path names changed between version 0.99.16 of
+    JED (the version in sarge) and 0.99.18.  This is an intended feature.
+    According to the upstream author, John E. Davis: "evalfile is slang's
+    lowest level file loading function, and as such it should not tamper
+    with the name passed to it. For example, under Unix ~ is a perfectly
+    valid directory name and it should be possible to load a file in that
+    directory.  For filename expansion, use the expand_filename function.
+    While not as convenient, [one] can also use evalfile("$HOME/foo.sl"$);"
