One needs exceptions for all kind of systems, for example I had to workaround Trac which adds ?format=raw to a tarball URI. There seems to be a solution in Trac as the guys from fedarahosted fixed the two I needed (tmpwatch, mlocate). So the -> operator is quite useful and I agree with David that the functionality is doubled.
