Follow-up Comment #1, bug #58326 (project octave):
__Would make_absolute_filename be a better alternative? __
Hmmm, guess not:
>> make_absolute_filename ('./.bashrc')
ans = /home/philip/.bashrc
>> make_absolute_filename ('~/.bashrc')
ans = /home/philip/~/.bashrc
In the docs for canonicalize_file_name and make_absolute_filename there's no
mention that a leading tilde should be avoided, or expanded first.
