 * Planned improvements
-  
-** TODO Make URLs the basic address type.
-Currently I waste a lot of effort converting between
-URL and non-URL representations.  This is unnecessary, and
-actually makes lots of things uglier.
-
-For example, the bookmarks file contains addresses in Elpher's
-internal representation, whereas I expect users would prefer
-it contain URLs.
-
-So the idea would be for (elpher-node-address node) to be
-a either a string or a symbol, with symbols used for "special"
-pages (bookmarks, start page, etc).  The getter functions
-`elpher-address-selector' etc will still do what they currently
-do, but will process the URL to do it.
-
-This also means that non-gopher URLs will be explicitly represented
-as such: no more abusing the "h" type for these.
