Thanks; that's exactly what I would have done (assuming I didn't miss
places like last time). Except that it should say that it's still
undefined if you use:
[url "foo"]
insteadOf = "baz"
[url "bar"]
insteadOf = "baz/sub"
in that you can't predict whether "baz/sub/a" will be "bar/a" or
"foo/sub/a". This is actually what I'm most concerned about, since there
is actually a logical expectation (the one that matches more will be used
in preference to the less specific one), but that's not implemented.
Someday, we'll probably want to implement it, and that'll change the
behavior of this particular case.
