Ok, I'll bite.

It has to be avoidable. We aren't going to change an existing API. Add a new
one instead, and wrap one in the other.

Sorry, we'er unix folks, so unless unix domain transport is completely
disables, '/' defaults to it. I'd even argue that even in the absence of unix
domain support, ipx transports must be explicitly stated (eg "ipx:/36879").

I didn't actually look at the patch, just the tracker comments, so I can't
comment on the code...
