In the context of the uneager URL-at-point function (which, as Stefan has
said, should not replace the current behavior of (thing-at-point 'url)):
If we think it's not a URL, we return nil. Otherwise, we prepend
"http://" (customizable) if there's no scheme present and it doesn't look
like an email address (to which "mailto:" should be prepended, of course,
to make it a URL). On a somewhat-related note, such things as "www." and
".com" should in no circumstances be added; it is a misfeature of (many)
Web browsers that they conflate keyword searches with the DNS.
