Hello

I realize I am using a lot this pattern:

>>> os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), 'something', 'here')
'/Users/tarek/something/here'

It's quite complicated, and not really intuitive.

I don't find that complicated, just a bit verbose perhaps, but it's definitively clear what it's doing and it is also explicit.

os.path.joinuser('something', here') would probably be a bit less verbose but IMO it's not a good enough reason to introduce a new API.
