    Maybe substitute-in-file-name could put a `substitute-in-file-name'
    property on the return value and check for that property on its
    argument (and do nothing if it is present).

I don't like this idea.  I think it is simple enough to decide which
functions should call it, and which ones should redouble $ after
calling it.  That is simpler, so let's do that.
