We have to specify things like that anyway just to avoid segfaults 
sometimes.  :-)

I've never thought of the list of supported URL schemes for urlparse as a 
feature definition, but that's not an unreasonable stance.

The next question becomes:  should I back out my addition of svn: and 
svn+ssh:?  The decision that the list of URL schemes is a feature definition 
suggests I should, but it was already included in 2.4.2.  Would removing it 
cause more harm than good at this point?  I don't remember offhand exactly 
which release added those, but can look it up if it matters.
