XXX if we use aliases here, what happens when the alias gets repointed and
we don't know about it? Or we are already in a room which *claims* to be
`#room1:example.com`, but actually isn't? Probably room IDs (+ vias) would
be better, though the interaction with room upgrades would need
considering.
