This doesn't let you easily create shortcuts..  For example, I like
being able to access /afs/athena, /afs/sipb, /afs/dev, and other MIT
shorthands.  Obviously these are finger macros, but they are
convenient.

In theory I do like this idea -- perhaps we can also add a "list of
known short-hands" that one could use?
