Good.

I'm not sure I like this, since it results in:

Bleah!  I think that's just as confusing.  I suggest it be an error
not to give a fully qualified URL and just leave it at that.  Deriving
a filename automatically would be add specialized behavior on the part
of fetch, and I'd prefer to keep its specialized behavior to a
minimum.

Looks like your mailer intervened unpleasantly?  Either that or mine
did - anyone else see the tabs expanded in these diffs?  It makes them
rather difficult to apply. :-)
