[chef] knife chokes on "~/" syntax in .config/knife.rb

[Hedge Hog < >]

Hi,
I've looked through the open knife issues and din't notice anything,
but would like to confirm this is not a known bug before opening a
ticket:

client_key "~/chef/server/etc/client.pem"

leads to:

FATAL: Failed to read the private key ~/chef/server/etc/client.pem:
#<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory -
~/chef/server/etc/client.pem>,

Expanding the path in .config/knife.rb and all runs OK.

TIA
