Anyway, emacs is real powerful when it comes to the *ends* of the
arguments you give it.
It knows just the right modes for .../bla.pl vs. .../bla.html vs.
.../bla.txt vs. hundreds perhaps. Much smarter than the average
$BROWSER.
But emacs (-q) is totally baffled by the *front* ends of things you give
it. E.g., file:///somedir/right_under_your_nose is a big mystery to emacs.
$ $BROWSER file:$PWD/.emacs #No problem. Voosh. Butter.
$ emacs -q file:$PWD/.emacs #Totally baffled. Reminds me of

Nope, nobody told Waldo about the file: protocol all the other kids know about.
