Description

Setting $VIRTUALENV_HOME to ~/.local/envs causes environments to be created in ~/\~/.local/envs (e.g. /Users/username/~/.local/envs). It would be nice if one didn't have to call os.expanduser when setting the environment variable.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement tilde expansion in the environment variable path by using os.path.expanduser on $VIRTUALENV HOME.
