I disagree. URLs are well-specified. Per RFC 3986, the characters
allowed in a URL are [A-Za-z0-9\-._~!$&'()*+,;=:@\/?]. Org mode should
implement proper URL detection, not asking its users "to give it some
hints" and using "a kind of heuristics". A string either is a valid URL
per the relevant RFCs or it is not.
