There, I did say (among other things I invite you to read):

} I would personally stay clear of that cdablevars option as it's
} bound to give you bad surprises one day or another. Without it,
} you can always do cd ~user or cd ~var, and I find it much better
} to request it explicitly when you do want to cd into something
} other than the directory given as argument.
} 
} That cdablevars was already in the very first version of zsh
} from 1990, inspired by tcsh that does that by default. It
} predates the expansion of ~var. cdablevars should be considered
} as a historical artefact IMO.
