But expand-file-name doesn't support it. On MS-Windows:
(expand-file-name "file:///d:/usr/lib")
=> "d:/gnu/bzr/emacs/trunk/file:/d:/usr/lib"
On GNU/Linux:
(expand-file-name "file:///home/e/eliz/bzr")
=> "/home/e/eliz/bzr/emacs/trunk/file:/home/e/eliz/bzr"

There are other methods to prevent accidental saving, which don't mess
up with buffer-file-name or default-directory. After all, the user
can always specify the file to save explicitly, so you cannot make
this 100% idiot-proof anyway. The way things are now, we punish the
innocent majority on behalf of a crazy minority. That doesn't sound
right to me.
