This patch, by itself, doesn't affect the is_urlness of userspace 
wrappers.  Whether or not we change their designation is up to a 
separate concensus (I'm in favor of it for the record).

Funnily enough though, Pierre and I were just discussing the problem of 
userspace wrappers.  Specifying all potential userspace wrapper names in 
a whitelist style allow_url_fopen setting isn't realistic, so we thought 
it might be a good idea to add a sort of "meta-wrapper" name to be used 
in the whitelist style.  e.g.   allow_url_fopen=file,http,ftp,user 
would allow those first three wrappers explicitly by name, plus any 
userdefined wrapper (regardless of specific name).  For completeness, we 
might also add a metawrapper called "internal" for "All non-userspace 
based wrappers", though the specific usefulness of that is a little more 
iffy...
