Package:  emacs
Severity: minor

	As of 88bc8332eb14 (2015-01-07 13:51:41 +0000), the ‘eww’
	command follows a hard-coded set of rules to rewrite the
	argument given into a URI suitable for url-retrieve.

	I hereby suggest to make these rules fully customizable, per the
	patch MIMEd.

	* lisp/net/eww.el
	(eww-uri-rewrite-hook): New customizable variable.
	(eww): Use eww-uri-rewrite-hook.
	(eww-search-words): Use eww-uri-search.
	(eww-uri-file, eww-uri-not-supported, eww-uri-search)
	(eww-uri-remote-prepend-http): New functions, split off eww.

	FWIW, removing eww-search-words from the hook allows one to type
	something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free software RET
	(note the blank) at the prompt and be with that.

	On top of this, eww-uri-file may then be changed slightly to
	deal with #19472.
