Just noticed that [Mastodon](https://fediverse.party/en/mastodon/) prefixes a
user's homepage {{< abbr URL "Uniform Resource Locator" >}} route with the @at
symbol. Pragmatic and clever name spacing? Tempting. Though I'd still prefer a
`URL` of the form:

```text
https://example.com/user
```

Instead of:

```text
https://example.com/@user
```

Yeah... superficial, but it looks cleaner.
