How shall we handle the case where in globbing with GLOB_TILDE set for
~foo
foo is no valid user name? What is if there is a file named ~foo?
The current implementation forgets about GLOB_TILDE if the user does
not exists and therefore will match an existing file (or return an
error if GLOB_NOCHECK is not set). I think this is the correct way.
Do I miss something?
