I'm leaning towards wont-fix. URLs can appear syntactically in a number
of valid cases. Couple of example below:

All of those are correct and if an application decides to highlight and
open those URLs, it's up to it to correctly match boundaries.

For instance, both Thunderbird and Evolution match boundaries correctly
here.

If Konsole or other terminals fail to do so correctly, it should be
fixed in their project, not in duck.
