Here's a toy patch. I haven't thought carefully about whether it's a
good idea, but maybe it can be useful for thinking about that.
Still needs documentation and tests.
My main worry is that the proposed rule for when an argument is
treated as a local path is hard to explain. There's some precedent in
handling of bundles, though. What do you think?
Thanks,
Jonathan
