This is wrong, FWIW. Tilde expansion must happen only at the beginning of a word or, when in an assignment, at the beginning of the assigned value or after any unquoted ':'. Note that in `echo foo=~/foo`, what looks like an assignment is *not* an assignment in POSIX shell lingo because it comes after the command name.
