Good thinking.  Otherwise this would not work from within a
subdirectory.  Perhaps you would want a test for it?

An unrelated tangent, but would we want to further enhance
OPT_FILENAME() to understand ~/path and ~user/path perhaps?
It is easy to rely on users' shells to do so, so it is not a big
deal and it certainly is unrelated to this particular topic.
