Right now it is used in exo, thunar, garcon (but that is not using xfce
libraries) and panel. So technically exo could be used too.

Duno about _is_uri, I guess it's fine, but the string "look: I'm online" will
return true too.

The function is handy then you work with gio, if you have a string (from a
config file or dnd for example) you can use this function to pick between
g_file_new_for_{uri,path}, in exo-open it is used to decide if we can use
gtk_show_uri directly or perform some additional check if it's a file, email
address, website etc.
