My point was only that the documentation for (thing-at-point 'url) should
make it clear that this does not try and determine *if* there is a URL.
For uses where we want to check that point is near a URL, we want some
other operation.
I don't know if this one exists and will let others invent it if needed.
So again: I don't think there's a need to change the behavior of
(thing-at-point 'url), but maybe there's a need to make its doc
more explicit.
Stefan
