My feelings about this one are all over the map:

- - Launchpad already does this kind of indirection on the server side.
If you do "bzr log https://launchpad.net/python", you get the history of
python commits.

- - Wouldn't it make more sense to handle this closer to user input, e.g.
Branch.open or builtins.tree_files?  Does it really make sense to
support lp:python as a parent or bound location?

- - Doesn't lp imply printing?

- - But it's not an invasive change, so I'm +0 or something.
