   As someone else pointed out, expand-file-name doesn't expand
   environment variables.

environment is context, i.e., that which need not be said.
different lands, different forests, different hope, different dread.
floating high above the mess,
we share a sigh for VMS,
where dollar signs in search paths beckon (still!) to those who dare to tread.
