I suspect that if users had to cut-and-paste a cap on every CLI line, then
nobody would ever use the CLI :-). I also think that teaching users what an
alias means is easier than trying to convince them to paste caps into each
command. Although the examples might be easier to follow if the aliases were
shaped differently than directory names.. I'm not sure the colon-suffix is
distinctive enough. Maybe a prefix? "$tahoe:" or something?

cheers,
