No, *that* would be backwards. In installations that are using this
feature, the vast majority of the users are going to be local ones.
And the global users will be the presumably-more-sophisticated admins.
Putting the onus of the '@' decoration on the local users instead of
the global ones is exactly the wrong way to go.
