Yeah, too bad we can't fix those. :-)

Like Sergio I don't like the use of `@' as a non-host scope qualifier as the
reverse seems to be the established use outside of OpenSSH. I `like host!port'
better since it avoids using `@' and carries with it the UUCP notion of moving
closer to the destination with each bang (first host, then port).
