You have, apparently ;) unquoted ~0 conflicts, but unquoted ~n conflicts only when you use pushd (and the stack has n entries; or n+-1, I can't count either...). Even \~2 is shorter than HEAD~2, btw., although I don't consider that viable. But I understand that I'll have to leave ~n for my private edition.
