# Function to find a web browser to run on a URL or file.
# Can also be run as a script. It is suitable for use as
# a suffix alias:
# alias -s html=pick-web-browser
#
# The single argument is the URL or file name which may be of any type.
# The only processing which occurs is that if the argument is a file,
# it is converted into a URL. As the function takes account of
# any necessary conversions to the file name (for example, if it
# contains spaces), it is generally preferable to pass in raw file
# names rather than convert them to URLs elsewhere.
#
# The function takes account of the fact that many X Windows browsers
# which are already running on the current display can take a command
# to pass the URL to that process for handling. A typical sign
# that this has happened is that apparently nothing happens --- you
# need to check the browser window.
#
# If no $DISPLAY is set, the function tries to start a terminal-based
# browser instead.
