OK, I have applied this patch, thanks.  I am, however, wondering if this
does the right thing consistently, for example also when adding URLs
containing a question mark using `C-c C-l'.  Or when editing a link
with `C-c C-l' while the cursor is on it.  Maybe you or others can make
a few more tests in this direction?

Thanks.
