This can normally be achieved on the server itself using mod_rewrite on
Apache.
On other servers I don't know, but I guess that they probably offer
similar
functionality.
The url_part_aliases is used to reduce the size of the databases. It is
sort
of a maximum compression for URLs stored therein.
If the server itself does not redirect /~foo to /bar, then you will see
all
/~foo and all /bar pop up in other search engines (which you are not
able
to control), too.
