If a namestring begins with the name of a defined logical pathname host followed by a colon, then it will be parsed as a logical pathname. Both `*' and `**' wildcards are implemented. load-logical-pathname-defaults on name looks for a logical host definition file in `library:name.translations'. Note that `library:' designates the search list (see section 2.13.4) initialized to the CMU Common Lisp `lib/' directory, not a logical pathname. The format of the file is a single list of two-lists of the from and to patterns:
(("foo;*.text" "/usr/ram/foo/*.txt")
("foo;*.lisp" "/usr/ram/foo/*.l"))
