(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.
