Have you tried setting a default domain?  Maybe checkout with keywords 
off to compile?  (the latter is probably impractical, making the 
keywords next to useless in a debugging environment).

The domain name is going to be significant in larger networks and 
shouldn't just be ignored.  Maybe a substitution of / for \ in the 
username string would be sufficient?  It would still parse for human 
readers, and shouldn't be trouble for most compilers.  Perhaps a admin 
option for what to substitute the domain separator with would make it 
more flexible?

Opinions?
