(thing-at-point 'url) thinks WORD is the url http://WORD.
(url-get-url-at-point) does not see any url there.
I think thing-at-point is a bit too afraid of failing to find an url.
Maybe the latter function could learn thing-at-point to be a bit
braver and see reality a bit clearer?
This thing-at-point lives in a trunk checkout from 2010-10-19.

Would it make sense just to have
(thing-at-point 'url)
just call
(url-get-url-at-point)
to avoid code duplication? On the other hand, thingatpt is meant to be
really sloppy, so I'm not sure it's a bug at all.
For instance, `thing-at-point' will do the right thing with this "url":
gnus.org
while `url-get-url-at-point' doesn't...
So perhaps a sufficient fix would be to require that the word should
have a dot in it somewhere?
