Trust me, I've been fighting this issue since 2003. If there were a way, I'd be doing it right now. I think a screenshot is not needed on such a page as the instructions are fairly clear.

FYI, I've got a ticket[1] in to redo the URL routing system that I plan to work on once I can clear current client obligations (or ideally if a by-the-hour client obligation requires it. :)  It's unknown at this time if the core team will adopt it but minimally I should be able to make it a plugin.
