most definitely not. variables were never just expanded.
we are talking exclusively about {read,write}PathEntry(), for which
$HOME/ at the beginning is sort of a magic token. i don't think it makes
much sense to change that behavior in any way.
and btw, this means that if somebody uses a $e path entry, he has to
write it $$HOME/... in the ini file.
