Actually, I don't care that much, I was only thinking of cases where
something like this is used in test (`[[ \=foo = $~bar ]]') and didn't
think of the `~' handling. And now that I have actually looked at the
docs: they are described together so...

That could certainly be a nuisance. A quick look for ` \=' in the
completion functions didn't seem to throw up any real problems, however.
Maybe it's OK to try it.

$~a does do ~dir expansion (that's where the ~ originally came from, before
it ever tokenized the rest of the pattern), which is performed at the same
time as =cmd expansion, so it is a little odd. The real issue is that `='
don't get tokenized by on-the-fly tokenization. This patch would do that.
But if you can think of a good reason for not...?
