I think the better question is what the need would be?  Often the reason
I'm building a full link is because I need to change the protocol,
servername, or port - most commonly to send someone to a secure section.
I also have pages that are sometimes available under both http/https and
several server names, not all of the same domain.

If al-a and ctx.request.redirect are sharing the same method, then I
think best would be to decouple al-a from redirect, and let al-a really
be a shorthand for <a href="<al-value expr="myloc">">, which is hard on
the eyes =p
