i have to disagree.  the ! addressing no different from / [file]
addressing.  you can synthesise the file tree based on context.

a!b!c as a comand line argumeet is just that, whereas user
mode fileservers can do whatever they like.  getting the
structure of the file tree may be tricky, but that's what
makes it interesting.

a!b!c goes all the way back to datakit and uucp.  i'd
say it's time to dump it.  if you want shortcuts use bind(1).

EGREG?

;)
