Is this a serious proposal or a quick hack suggestion? I'd rather do
it right than introduce ugly hacks.
I am fairly serious. I think it pretty much covers all
bases and where your running into problems with this method you
should have been using another method anyway.
From my point of view the biggest argument against it would be if you
are of the opinion that file-name-handler-alist should be nil by
default (which it isn't anyway).
Another disadvantage would be that it relies on the discipline of the
people who add there regexps to f-n-h-a to make sure they do not
match /:path
In short, I think this is a UI issue not a user level issue.
