POSIX file "~/foo" --> file ":~:foo"

which is not valid, or at least causes an error (AS 1.8.1 here).

what am i missing?

path to current user folder

i'm aware of that, but it doesn't help much if you get a
POSIX-style path from an external source and need to
interpret it. the result is a need to put a wrapper around
every use of POSIX file unless you know it won't use ~.
