I'm in favor of that. A big fat warning should be printed when a demux:
without // is detected and the behaviour changed in 0.9.1/0.10.0

I don't know well src/input code. But i believe that in the demux case
it tries first with the demux specified by the user/hinted by the access
module, then try all the demux modules. Could we do the same for access
modules ? It would solves the present problem and work for corner case
like the http: directory.
