That's a bizarre recommendation.  Approximately all uses of tilde
in PATH are variants of PATH=~/bin:$PATH, which are expanded on
assignment in bash as in other sh-type shells.

Yes, to both. (Only that "recommendation" should have been put in
quotes; as it should have got obvious what I think about that.)
