It seems to me you are interested in accessing resources on the local disk, not specifically interested in using the "file:" URI scheme per se. So it is that former that is great, not the latter.

It's SMB support I'm not interested in these days, not local filesystem
support.

I'm not sure what alternative to the file: scheme such support would take. "curl
groks those URLs" and file: is the URL for this.
