Would it be safe to say "raplce all occurences of '+' and '.' with
'-'? Is it feasible that we would want to support two protocols with a
different helper that map to the same 'name' using that scheme? So,
would there ever be a case where we want to handle "bzr+ssh"
and "bzr-ssh" with a different helper? I reckon not, and if it does
occur it's always possible to put a simple dispatcher in between?
