Basically I looked at url-erc. It appears simpler to write an url-lib
like url-erc or url-jdbc than one that does fetching, like http.

Maybe I will add support for some http like protocol, if I can find one
that intrests me that isnt already done, then I can write docs.

Something that figures out whats at point and does something interesting
