And how would you want to expand ~ ?  This is a context-sensitive value.
 restorecond runs as root so ~/foo is /root/foo?  You cannot expect the
program to pull down the list of all accounts and expand ~/foo for all
user accounts.

There might be a case for supporting * but I think the files which have
to be handled through restorecond should remain small, so this isn't
really that important.
