standardizePath

String Method

Returns a string with ~ replaced by the current user's home directory, and all symbolic links resolved.  

"~/Documents".standardizePath

/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/cruxxial/Documents

Note that my Documents folder is on a different partition than the boot,

so the full path uses /Volumes

Resolves symbolic links, but does not resolve aliases.

"~/Library/Favorites/SuperCollider3".standardizePath

/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/cruxxial/Library/Favorites/SuperCollider3

Removes extraneous . and .. and /  but does not otherwise expand them.
