Good point, I'll add that.

Hope the helpers will be implemented soon. IMO, we can add IMAP and
SOCKS for now since the protocol names are clear, while it is unclear
what protocol name will be used for HTTP/HTTPS proxy. I guess that
some may prefer using http/https as protocol name instead of something
specific. What do you think?
