;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This package provides a simple method of inserting an 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
;; ammount of typing I need to do (see also handyurl.el which is available
;; from <URL:http://www.hagbard.demon.co.uk/archives/handyurl.el>), 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" . "http://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" "http://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation")
;;
;; Given the above, your quickurl file might look like:
;;
;; (("GNU"    . "http://www.gnu.org/")
;;  ("FSF"      "http://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation")
;;  ("emacs"  . "http://www.emacs.org/")
;;  ("hagbard"  "http://www.hagbard.demon.co.uk" "Hagbard's World"))
;;
;; 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
;; the `quickurl' is stored in `quickurl-url-file'.
;;
;; quickurl is always available from:
;;
;;   <URL:http://www.hagbard.demon.co.uk/archives/quickurl.el>
;;   <URL:http://www.acemake.com/hagbard/archives/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
;;   be found.
;;
;; o Merge quickurl.el and handyurl.el to provide a fuller URL management
;;   facility that would allow for the pulling, inserting and browsing of
;;   URLs.

;; `caddr' is a function in cl and so might not always be available
;; (remembering the general rule that says cl functions should not be used,
