True. Perhaps this isn't a good idea after all. It's just come more
than a few times over the years that people are using 'nntp instead of
"nntp" and 'imap instead of "imap" and not understanding why they're
getting errors.
Since these are things that users mess around with, I thought it might
be user-friendly to allow these forms, but I don't really care.
