Yuck, I *hate* disney :)
Well, the issue is I connect as multiple users to the
same host(s).  So I was hoping for something like:

[client]
alias=biff
user=biff
host=screw.the.riaa.org
password=yuck

[client]
alias=joebob
user=joebob
host=screw.the.riaa.org
password=foo

Not a biggie, my wrapper hack works well enough.  I thought there might
be a builtin (and thus, cleaner) way to do this.

thanks for the suggestion though.
