Uh ... that would let \url "merge" the functionality of \useurl
and \url, but that's not what I want. The problem is that if I
do:

\useurl[whatever][this.net.address]

\url[whatever]

then \url[whatever] gives this.net.address, but it's not active,
while \from[whatever] gives this.net.address, active.

\let\url=\from does not work. Any ideas?
