I'm OK with this in principle. But I must say I was quite confused
because the "@" symbol appears in diametrically opposite contexts:
a) designate local users on the server
b) designate global users in the client
Perhaps I might have been less confused if meaning (b) used a different
character, say "username!". This might be equally confusing to the next
person -- just my observation.
