My intuition is that it would be difficult to get people to go along
with that, especially since the break character is in the uninterpreted

So, we invent a new kind of URL:

        verp://cse.psu.edu/schwartz/qmail/....

In fact, to save typing you could write it as:

        cse.psu.edu!schwartz!qmail!...
