Description
It would be super helpful if you could add a function that expands paths with special symbols (tilde comes to mind on *nix like platforms) or env variables (e.g. "%TEMP%\resetvars.bat" on Windows) to valid paths that can be consumed by the rest of the module.

Research direction
Start by reading the module's existing path utilities and how they handle platform differences. Define expected behavior for tilde expansion on Unix-like systems and environment-variable expansion on Windows, then verify that the resulting paths can be consumed by the rest of the module on each platform.
