+It's like the @code{rewrite} action of many Web servers, but for your file
+system.  For example, it can help keep your home directory tidy by transparently
+rewriting the location of configuration files of software that doesn't follow
+the XDG directory specification from @file{~/.@var{name}} to
+@file{~/.config/@var{name}}.")
