Is it possible to stream a particular YouTube video's content with VLC?

The scenario is that you could paste a YouTube URL into a VLC dialog, and then have VLC stream the video as if it were a local media file.

Any existing features in VLC, or workarounds that you know of to accomplish this streaming idea?
