Hmm... right. Ideally we should have 2 places to specify those
redirections: one autoload-set by packages to change the default
behavior, and one custom-set by the user to override that
default behavior.
But if we use `browse-url-browser-function` as the user-override, then
as soon as the user sets it to `browse-url-firefox` it would override
all the defaults :-(
So we still need to deprecate this old hack on `browse-url-browser-function`.

Good question, hopefully someone else knows.
