Subject: Solved, but now a new twist (was: Double Evaluation Question (not in FAQ))

Sorry, I should have read the man page in better detail before
posting this question. The solution is of course
${(e)z}
But now comes another twist to this problem: I found that I *also*
would like to have the resulting string to undergo tilde-expansion,
which is of course a completely different story.
That is, if I have an assignment
x='~linus ~steve'
Is there also a simple solution, which expands $x to the home
directories
of linus and steve, with spacing preserved?
