Okay.  For now, I'd say to work around it by replacing the 'filenames' 
binding in a subclass of ResourceDirectory with a binding that filters '~' 
names from the filenames.  I'll look at adding some kind of filtering 
operation later, I'm just not sure how it should work without some other 
(i.e. non-emacs) examples.

Yes, definitely.  Due to my "day job" commitments I will not always be able 
to provide timely code changes, but I can certainly answer questions, make 
suggestions, offer workarounds, etc.
