]link.Create # ~/folder incorrectly linked $HOME/~/folder

[bear8642]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
~ in the shell expands to the home directory. I expected the same for ]LINK however the ~ is incorrectly taken to be a directory name.

Describe the solution you'd like

]Llink.Create # ~/folder
Linked: # ←→/home/user/folder

or

]Llink.Create # ~/folder
Linked: # ←→ ~/folder

Describe alternatives you've considered

]link.Create # folder ⍝ I was changing an absolute path to ~
]link.Create # /home/user/folder ⍝ much more convenient to type ~

~ (and many other likes) are shell features, not file system features, and thus do not generally apply to paths used inside applications. That said, ⎕SE.Dyalog.Utils.ExpandConfig does such shell expansion.
