I consider it serious. I don't want this stuff hacked into the
guts of Fexpand_file_name or something like that. I've had to
hack extraneous filename munging out of Emacs in the past.
//path had a special meaning (...)
But /: is designed exactly to solve these problems. In your case, you
would access // as /:// and things would just work. /: is not yet
another special meaning, it *removes* special meanings.
