I think it is, gopher is not widely used AFAIK, and allowing disabling
it would avoid needless search in most cases, thus it make it consistent
with other ffap* fns that can be disabled; I have a lot of complains at
helm with ffap annoyances and having more flexibility on this is interesting.

Thanks.
