I have a question about paths. What's the official word on % versus !? I'm
currently implementing things so that % has tighter binding than !, and @
has looser, so:

	foo!user%site ( after stripping off @*.ferranti.com )

means send to foo for forwarding to user@site, while:

	foo!user@site

means send to site for forwarding to foo!user.

Is this a reasonable interpretation?
