Jindrich,
As you have "already touched" this part of the code, think about one
more feature: replace "/#ftp"-like prefixes to "ftp://"-like on command
line substitution (%d, %D, M-Enter, etc.)
In most cases such substitution is used to form an argument of a
command, i.e. "rmp -i %D/%F", or "lynx -dump %D" . Currently, only
internal "cd" command can eat "/#ftp:" .
An ideal variant is: internal cd can handel both "mc" and "general"
form, command line substitution should mostly use "general" form.
I have a patch (written some years ago) for "ftp://" case...
