No, of course not.  Please have a look into my preliminary documentation.
and try the latest snapshot.  Add an /etc/nsswitch.conf file with the=20
following content:

---
passwd: db
group: db
---

Then restart your Cygwin shell window.  Call `id'.  It will give you a
first clue.  Then have a look into the documentation and play with the
nsswitch.conf settings described in the last section.

Since domain-less prefixing is only done for builtin accounts, it
won't affect your user account anyway.  But still, the tilde would
be bad.  If you want to cd to your home dir using the tilde
expression, you'd have to use it twice:

  $ cd ~~daniel

But, again, this won't happen anyway.  Your username is either
"daniel", or "DOMAIN~daniel" (assuming you use tilde as separator).
