it would be useful, but it can't be done as different URL types have
different styles, see for example 'mailto:hartmut@six.de' or
'file:/home/hartmut'
is_url() would have to know about every possible method: and its
encoding stile for what lies behind ':'
so it wouldn't be 'is_url()' but only 'looks_like_an_url()' ... :(
