I hadn't given much thought to this issue before. In Medley, we represented
"unspecific" components by the empty string.
I.e., "foo." => (host nil device nil directory nil name "foo" type ""
version nil),
while "foo" => (host nil device nil directory nil name "foo" type nil
version nil).
Why do you need a separate keyword?
