Re: bin/39195 (/bin/sh tilde expansion doesn't take place on 'export=~/foo')
Synopsis: /bin/sh tilde expansion doesn't take place on 'export=~/foo'
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

State-Changed-Why:
This one is a "not a bug, won't fix".
The rules for tilde expansions are quite clear, and the place
where it was expected to work here is not one of them. Making
a ~ expansion happen in this context would also allow it in
other contexts when it is not desired - the expansions happen,
have to happen, before anyone has any idea that the command
involved is export (or local, or readonly which operate the same way.)
