Can the default launch URL use the IP instead of localhost? I use VMWare on
my OSX machine and often access the dev mode URL from a Windows VM using IE
for testing purposes. Currently I need to manually replace localhost with
the machine IP in the URL. It's not a big deal but will add a little
convenience if there are no downsides to using IP instead of localhost.

Thanks,
Sanjiv
