Description:
------------
While attempting to use FILTER_VALIDATE_URL, I notice it gets negative 
press. Here's one such piece of press:

http://www.talkincode.com/php-filter-filter_validate_url-limitations-
124.html

Ideally FILTER_VALIDATE_URL would behave as most would expect, and 
that's checking if an URL is valid... as most people do with long-ish 
regular expressions.

Please also provide tips for how this should be documented.
