[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider

Unencoded full URL's cannot be valid filenames under the vast
majority of filesystems, including GNU/Linux and macosx.
http://gnu.org/index.html is a valid file name. In Emacs, it is
equivalent to /gnu.org/index.html.
That name probably does not exist, but it is valid.
Nothing stops you from creating that file on your machine
if you have root access.
mkdir /gnu.org
touch /gnu.org/index.html
It is a problem to block access to that file if it exists.
I think this problem can be solved. My point is that we need
to solve it, not ignore it.
