Oh and if you want to be really nice, you could say that any filename

any protocol name starting with a  '/'.  And this would ensure any
existing usage with absolute filenames 'just works' without tripping
up on colons.

Existing usage would mean to get an error message. I don't see any
reason why we should change this behaviour if we have a real solution.
Adding more exceptions to the guessing doesn't really make it more harmless.

No, please don't break something as essential as this without a good reason. If you don't specify a protocol, chances are 99.999% the user wants a file, so let's behave that way!
