Oh, gee... I might not stuggle too hard against an attempt like that! ;-)

I must say though that this idea I got from Kent Polk.  (This was one of
our first big Zen revelations...  "the URL only needs to bear a faint
resemblance to the actual hierarchy of objects".  Or to put it another
way, acquisition works at the URL/object traversal level too, not just
with #var/#in/etc. Which was totally obvious in retrospect, once I'd
slapped my forhead and wondered why I hadn't seen it before :-)

Still, I do have some other tricks up my sleeves :-)
