Looking at [1], I am trying to figure out if/how the semantic equivalent
of the pseudo configuration

	[database]
	mail_root = ~/.maildir
	path = ~/.local/share/notmuch/default

can be achieved? The docs don't mention that '~' has any special
meaning, and my tests agree. How then does one specify directories
relative to the user's $HOME ? Simply dropping the ~/ prefix and using
.maildir or .local does not seem to work either. I found the latter
being suggested in some Internet search result or other, and thought I'd
give it a try, but no dice.
