Thanks for posting the patch.  I've been thinking about this, and I can see the 
value in it.  Can you think of any situations where this could get in the way 
or have unintended side effects?  Nothing is immediately coming to mind, but I 
would like to think about it for another day or two before applying it.  
Anyway, this looks like it would be helpful.  Thanks for your contribution.

I glanced over it again and I think it should be benign. It does not allow -H 
"host user" format but nor did the old -H style.

Okay, I think I'm convinced.  I'll try out the patch later today.
