shell> cd ~/Google\ Drive/
ERROR: chdir ~/Google Drive/: no such file or directory (ENOENT)

yet

cd(joinpath(homedir(), "Google Drive"))

works.

It appears that the tilde isn't getting expanded:

shell> cd ~/test\ folder
ERROR: chdir ~/test folder: no such file or directory (ENOENT)

shell> cd /Users/alex/test\ folder
/Users/alex/test folder

I know tilde expansion didnt work in Base.cd, but it used to work from shell mode. So this is a regression afaik.

This also fails in Julia 0.3. The issue is the space in the directory name.
