Ref: ljharb#9

The tilde needs to be quoted because there is an entire chapter of possibilities for Tilde expansion in the bash manpage, other than the obvious shorthand for the ${HOME} expression.

Escape tilde at the beginning of word
ef73979 
In many shells, ~ is a shorthand for ${HOME}, and there are other
expansion as well ~+N and ~-N expand to directories from the history.

The ~ is always quoted at the beginning of a word, or following `=` or
`:`

Fixes #4 and ljharb#9
