Subject: 24.3.50; Rename the `url' defstruct (for `url-p' etc.)
Date: Sat, 11 May 2013 07:56:37 -0700

`url-p' should test whether a string is a URL.  That is naturally what
someone would expect of a function with this name.
 
This function and other `url-*' functions are misleading because the
name `url' was chosen for a Lisp structure (defstruct) that represents a
URL.  The name for this structure should be changed - e.g.,
`url-struct'.
