Summary

In the wake of Sniffly, it seems pretty reasonable to prevent folks from locking themselves into insecurity. To that end, Insecure schemes in source expressions now match their secure variants. That is, `http:` is equivalent to `http: https:`, and `http://a.com` to `http://a.com https://a.com`.
