A remote host can be (kind of) non-Posix, for example not expanding
"~/". But this is a general problem then accessing such a host, and one
shall avoid to use a remote file name containing the tilde.

Tramp checks for all remote hosts whether they can expand "~/" (or
"~user/" in general). If possible, it does.

Your patch uses `expand-file-name', and that's all what we have to say
to Tramp.

Best regards, Michael.
