The patch does say "fully qualified domain name". However, one shouldn't
get a warning if hostname_aliases is set such that having a non-fqdn as
visible_hostname doesn't cause any ill behavoir of squid. The problem is
the wrong combination of all these factors can cause _huge_ headaches.
How about if 'bar' was forcibly added to hostname aliases when this
combination of non-fqdn and append_domain were set? Perhaps this could be
done along with a big warning in cache_log.
