It already did that (show the warning only for file:// protocols).

No. It's not documented how to differ between those two fs formats. So
all I could do is "reverse-engineer" the format and check myself. But I
really don't want to do that since what's not documented can be changed
without notice. So if I check e.g. for a specific file and the file then
changes without notice, I'm screwed.
