Would it make sense just to have
(thing-at-point 'url)
just call
(url-get-url-at-point)
to avoid code duplication? On the other hand, thingatpt is meant to be
really sloppy, so I'm not sure it's a bug at all.
For instance, `thing-at-point' will do the right thing with this "url":
gnus.org
while `url-get-url-at-point' doesn't...
So perhaps a sufficient fix would be to require that the word should
have a dot in it somewhere?
