;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This package provides a simple method of inserting a URL based on the
;; text at point in the current buffer. This is part of an on-going effort
;; to increase the information I provide people while reducing the amount
;; of typing I need to do. No-doubt there are undiscovered Emacs packages
;; out there that do all of this and do it better, feel free to point me to
;; them, in the mean time I'm having fun playing with Emacs Lisp.
;;
;; The URLs are stored in an external file as a list of either cons cells,
;; or lists. A cons cell entry looks like this:
;;
;; (<Lookup> . <URL>)
;;
;; where <Lookup> is a string that acts as the keyword lookup and <URL> is
;; the URL associated with it. An example might be:
;;
;; ("GNU" . "https://www.gnu.org/")
;;
;; A list entry looks like:
;;
;; (<Lookup> <URL> <Comment>)
;;
;; where <Lookup> and <URL> are the same as with the cons cell and <Comment>
;; is any text you like that describes the URL. This description will be
;; used when presenting a list of URLS using `quickurl-list'. An example
;; might be:
;;
;; ("FSF" "https://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation")
;;
;; Given the above, your quickurl file might look like:
;;
;; (("GNU" . "https://www.gnu.org/")
;; ("FSF" "https://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation")
;; ("emacs" . "https://www.emacs.org/")
;; ("davep" "http://www.davep.org/" "Dave's homepage"))
;;
;; In case you're wondering about the mixture of cons cells and lists,
;; quickurl started life using just the cons cells, there were no comments.
;; URL comments are a later addition and so there is a mixture to keep
;; backward compatibility with existing URL lists.
;;
;; The name and location of the file is up to you, the default name used by
;; `quickurl' is stored in `quickurl-url-file'.
;;
;; quickurl is always available from:
;;
;; <URL:http://www.davep.org/emacs/quickurl.el>
;;; TODO:
;;
;; o The quickurl-browse-url* functions pretty much duplicate their non
;; browsing friends. It would feel better if a more generic solution could
