Yeah, we are in agreement here.  My point is that there are
"source" locations (or whatever we want to call them)
and "target" locations (or whatever we want to call them).
We have to go back to the manual and the design stage and separate
all these out as separate concepts.

Ah, I am just saying that this is a user command that is oriented
towards "target" locations.  So we can't just hide the concept
of "target" location from people, because that concept is already
present in the input language.
