I think there are private implemenations where dumpdev is a network thing,
so too much magic string editing is probably not a good idea.
Given that /dev is really just a view into GEOMs namespace, one could
argue for "GEOM:ada0p3" that that may be going overboard in sematic
correctness.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
