I didn't mean the line count by "large".  I was referring to the size of
change at the conceptual level.  As Daniel already explained, it has been
one of the design assumption so far that there are built-in mappings from
some common <scheme>:// to backend "helpers".

I am _not_ saying that that particular design assumption must be cast in
stone (nothing is)---that is a totally different matter to be debated.
But the fact that it needs to be debated means it is not "a trivial 8-line
reduction", but rather a large conceptual change (perhaps improvement).
