nowww
===
Redirects any domain with `www` to the same site without it.
* `www.foobar3000.com` -> `foobar3000.com`
* `www.helloworld3000.com` -> `helloworld3000.com`
See [no-www.org][no-www.org] ![no-www.org][no-www.ico]
[no-www.ico]: http://no-www.org/images/blog-button.gif
[no-www.org]: http://no-www.org
In short:
All domains should have a `www` for backwards compatibility with what
early adopters of the internet have come to expect (and ctrl+enter adds it).
However, those domains should redirect to the root of the domain.
* it means we type four fewer charaters
* we don't type `http://` anymore, why would we type `www.`?
* it's what the cool kids do (i.e. github)
* `ftp`, `irc`, `ssh`, etc all have their own *protocols*. Why should the web also have a prefix?
