I've been hurt by this too, and it makes me think.  It would be even
more satisfactory if some configurable list of 'hosts' would map to
//localhost/.  Hosts with names such as \\bin, \\etc, \\tmp,
\\usr or \\var come to mind.

Now if such a thing could be implemented without some horrible kludge,
would that be nice?
