procedure turns revisited

Controller gave us something like, "direct FARAN, cleared ILS-16". FARAN's
not an IAF, the route from FARAN inbound is not marked NoPT, we hasn't
giving us vectors. By strict interpretation of the rules, he gave us a bum
clearance. On the other hand, not only did I know that he wanted us to fly
the approach straight-in, but there was no practical reason why anything
else would make any sense, so we did it.

I'd reply "understand cleared direct FARAN, direct FOOBAR, cleared
straight in ILS-16, please confirm." (where FOOBAR is the FAF).
