But this will *always* expand tildes. Since I am using magicequalsubst,
I don't want tildes to be expanded 'on the line' in places where
it would be done by magicequalsubst.
Shouldn't there be a option to _tilde_files saying that _tilde_files is
called in a context where magicequalsubst will expand the tilde (in which
case _tilde_files should care whether the magicequalsubst is set or not) ?
Or it may be the default.

What happens with _arguments's equal-ended options ?
Should they use _tilde_files instead of _files ?
It may be good that `--prefix=~/usr' get expanded to
`--prefix=/myhomedir/usr' when magicequalsubst is unset,
but I would find strange that `--prefix ~/usr' expands
to `--prefix /myhomedir/usr' too...
