Description

It would be nice to simplify the mount path even further, using the logged in user if not specified, so the syntax would end up like this:

net use Z: \\sshfs\host [user]

The current version requires \\sshfs\user@host.

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation that parses the current \sshfs\user@host mount syntax used by net use. Trace how the logged-in user and optional [user] argument are handled, then verify that both the existing form and the requested simplified form produce the expected mount behavior.
