EFS 1.12 bug: Re: .netrc and filename completion

Salut bug team,

   One thing that bugs me is that efs does not read a .netrc
   with login userid, but without password etc properly.

   More precisely, the line

   machine anubis.ethz.ch			login anonymous

   does not produce an entry in the host-user-hashtable, and therefore
   it is not possible to do completions like
   /ano TAB    => /anonymous@
   in the minibuffer.


As a quick fix, I am using a function:

(defun efs-set-user (host user)
  "For a given HOST, set or change the default USER."
  (interactive "sHost: \nsUser: ")
  (let* ((key (concat (downcase host) "/" user))
	 (sym (and (memq (efs-host-type host) efs-case-insensitive-host-types)
		   (efs-case-fold-intern-soft key efs-host-user-hashtable))))
    (or sym (setq sym (intern key efs-host-user-hashtable))))
  (efs-set-host-property host 'user user))

now, but I wonder if there is a better place to intern it.
