The output of convert-standard-filename is meant to be used *inside*
Emacs, not outside of it.
The purpose of convert-standard-filename is to convert a *standard* file
name such as ~/.emacs for those cases where this standard file name
happens not to work on the system (e.g. because file names can't start
with a ".").
