With sufficient effort this is most probably possible, but then -
how complete does such suppot have to be?  There are several
parameters ("p=", "a=", "f=", "h=", "hb=", "s=", "sr=", "st="...).
If we try to support all parameters with all options this becomes
more than some simple address rewriting.
