This has been suggested before.  I don't recall ever hearing any arguments 
against, and it's pretty easy to do in afs_lookup() if you require that they 
all start with '@'.


I concur with Russ that *what* the @sys values are is not all that important.  
Also, remember not to confuse 'sys' and @sys.  They are completely independent 
of each other.
