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-translations on name looks for a
logical host definition file in
library:name.translations. Note that library:
designates the search list (see search-lists) initialized to the
CMUCL 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"))
