Describe the bug

Was messing around with invalid tilde starting path literals:

  • ~foo is parsed to Ident(Ident([email protected])), the ~ seemingly disappears into nowhere. The ident is retained as oo, i.e. in tvix you can evaluate let oo = 42; in ~foo. This literal should be a parse failure.
  • ~foo/bar is parsed to Path(Path([email protected])), yielding the path oo/bar. This should also be a parse failure.

Nix forbids home path literals that don't start with ~/, so both expressions are invalid Nix. Probably significant out two chars are dropped from the literals and ~/ is also two chars long.

I'm guessing this is a duplicate of #146. It should be possible to have rnix report these as errors
