E doesn't work with IPv6 addresses. Here's a patch:

http://gitorious.org/repo-roscidus/it-innovation/commit/5cda14106e59be94cda1aa013ee6422458025768

This also adds "[]" to the list of acceptable URI characters.

By the way, I found this surprising:

$ ls
a|b

$ rune
? <file:a|b>.getText()
# problem: <FileNotFoundException: .../a:b (No such file or directory)>

? <file>["a|b"].getText()
# problem: <FileNotFoundException: .../a:b (No such file or directory)>

? for name in <file:.>.list() { println(<file>[name].getText()) }
# problem: <FileNotFoundException: .../a/a:b (No such file or directory)>

Why does it do that?
