dirnodes

While we are at that: I also thought it was removed for other reasons and was pretty happy about it. I'd like to deautomize the image-URL-loading. It's a nonobvious feature that could potentially halt a program for at least several seconds or add undesired "features" to a program. Something like Image.load("string", ALLOW_URLS);. URI-objects could be automaticly loaded.

Example: Site lets users choose avatar by entering the image name* that is then loaded for rescaling by Image.load.

* Probably a select-list, but it boils down to sending a string. While this is not exactly good practise, I have no problem imagining it being done.
