+*** Shell-like expansion in .stowrc files
+
+ For options within .stowrc files which describe file paths, "~" can
+ be included to expand to the current value of $HOME, and
+ environment variables can be referenced e.g. via "$FOO" or
+ "${FOO}". To prevent expansion, escape with a backslash.
+
+ Thanks a lot to Charles LeDoux for his diligent work on this
+ feature!
