Any plans to support URI-esque like naming scheme a la Spring Resources?

[wspringer]

Spring allows you to address resources like this:

classpath:whatever.txt
file:///tmp/whatever.xml
http://www.foo.nl/bar.xml

Is supporting something like that an objective of Scala IO?

Right now that is not a priority although it is an interesting idea. The file system API has something like that and we could probably generalize it a bit to any resource.
