bug#40269: Emacs should recognize "file:" when opening files

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

Let's say I browse a local file in a browser.
Now I want to edit it in emacs.
Well if you let me just copy the whole URL, including the file:///
things would be great.
But just because emacs was born in the 1970s or something,
I have to remove the file:/// else emacs totally can't deal with it.
Everything else can deal with it, except emacs.
For emacs I have to do DEL DEL DEL DEL DEL DEL DEL each time.
That's because emacs hasn't been updated since 1970, the user feels.
