SSH hosts are treated very differently from CLI and configs.

[amcfague]

When specifying usernames and passwords for the host, I expect the format to be the same on both the command line on the config. I.e., on the command line:

fl-run-bench --distribute [email protected]

...will be parsed out correctly (username=amcfague, host=github.com). When specifying the same line in the config file, it treats the entire string as the hostname. While the config file DOES allow you to specify a global username for all hosts, it doesn't make sense to circumvent the normal SSH URI.
