Though you might consider including an analog of the slightly hidden but

Hi all,
I want to display a path to the user. I have a URL, I need to show the local
file path that represents (it’s always a local file path), where the
/Users// is replaced by ~/
Is there an easy, reliable way to do this, or do I have to do a string
