digitalmars.D.learn - Can D perform tilde expansion in paths?

I'm trying to replicate the following python code under D:

	Out[2]: '/home/gradha/test'

I searched phobos' std.conv, std.file, std.path, std.string and
std.system, but haven't found anything useful there (unless I missed it)
related to tilde expansion. How would I do the above in D?

At the moment, it isn't supported in std.path, though it should be. Would 
you care to write it?

I don't see on the web page any instructions/guidelines with regards
to contributing code.  Do you have a public repository with source
code or should I make patches against the sources I got with the
dmd compiler?

From license.txt:

 If you send any messages to Digital Mars, on either the Digital Mars
 newsgroups, the Digital Mars mailing list, or via email, you agree not
 to make any claims of intellectual
 property rights over the contents of those messages.

So, by posting a diff on this newsgroup implementing the feature
would I have assigned copyright to you at the very moment
allowing you to do what you want with it, or is something else
required? What does the license mean by intellectual property rights
(see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.xhtml)? I guess copyright.

What's up with those unittest blocks in the source (I presume I
would add code to src/phobos/std/path.d)? I've gone again through
the documentation and couldn't find much info about them.

They contain the test code for the function.

So there's no public repository? You are the only one in charge of
the code? I send whole files when I want to make a few changes here
and there?  To this newsgroup? To you personally?

You can post diffs here, or email them to me.
