well, we should have $conf['horde']['paths']['root'], but there isn't a function
that automatically looks there, if that's what you're asking.

No, full is important because it determines whether or not the http/https
portion of the url has to be generated; we generally only need to do that part
of the work for Location: headers.

... The problem with constants is that it's much harder to handle things
dynamically - either Horde would need a hardcoded list of module constants (bad
for anyone distributing a module outside Horde, or integrating something
locally), or you have to figure out how to make sure that Horde::url() can
always know about the constants that are available... Ie, if you're in Turba,
how do you make sure you know about the constants for IMP?
