I agree. I know of three implementations (including mine), so it is not just a 
virtual thing. however, from user feedback, I know that many try scp:// or 
look for kio_scp (especially because there sort of exists such a thing, a 
demo from some talk). scp has nothing to do with fish at all, but one couold 
reasonably argue that it explains its function well.
Anyone got a pointer to this rewrite rule stuff (docs, source)?
