Do we want the like of http://gcc.gnu.org/r22342 ?

[Gerald Pfeifer]

In bug 55237, Uros suggested to implement shortcuts from the like of
  http://gcc.gnu.org/r194572
to
  http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=revision&revision=194572

I implemented this now, but before making this a new standard, I
did want to ask here whether any of you have concerns or suggestions 
around this (longer term or otherwise)?
