Agaric wants Drupal to do n/#nid and u/#uid paths so it would have pseudo short URLs

Searched words:

drupal replace node with letter n for short url

If Drupal provided n/ and u/ instead of or as an alternative to node/ and user/ it would create pseudo short URLs (like tinyurl.com etc) by default.

That would be really cool.

Can't be too hard to add this to the menu system that tells all incoming requests where to go.
