Oh interesting, I didn't know that there was some special fr only code
inside the autocorrect. A good catch IMO, so happily pushed.

Modifying INETUrlObject to add a new protocol, as I discovered to my
cost recently, turns out to be a little bit tricky with some knockon
effects where some code far from tools behaves quite differently when a
protocol is "unknown" vs "known". For non-autocorrection of ftps://
imaps:/// it ain't worth it. If you want you could just add a local list
into that autocorr.cxx of additional things worth auto-non-capitalizing.

This makes my month, really great :-) I like autocorrect, but that one
always drive me wild, just not enough to fix it myself. Move it from the
easy-hack list to the completed one and stick your name on it there.
