Since we're on this topic anyway, there is one thing which has always
bothered me:  Why don't we have the option of a per user alias file
for hostnames ? 

I would love to be able to say:

	echo "freefall freefall.freebsd.org" >> $HOME/.hostaliases

and be able to say just:

	ssh freefall

no matter how the local resolver and/or /etc/hosts file were configured...
