Because depending on the machine I'm working from the fully qualified
URL could be any of

http://www.example.com/news -- which needs to work when I push the whole
thing live;
http://staging.example.com/news -- which needs to work while I'm testing
it;
http://example.local/news -- which needs to work if I'm going to be able
to do any work when I'm offline or on a train. Or on an offline train.
Which I spend more time doing than I really like, working on trains.

The domain varies depending on which site I'm working on -- my local
offline copy, the public facing staging site, or the live site. I need
to be able to work and test changes and invite review on the staging
site, and as a matter of basic practice I want to limit the amount of
steps that it takes to push code changes live.
