I'm not sure that /skel is much saner, to be honest. Existing
behaviour is BS, no arguments about that, but I suspect that
we want that to be recognizable. How about doing something
like detached:<rest of path> instead (c.f. "pipe:[6969]" and
its ilk)?
Lack of leading / currently points to pathname *not* resolving
to object; it might be worth doing the same here. Comments?
