It could be done fairly easily by replacing prior to passing the string
to the URL constructor (see attached).  So you could do:

      SmbFile("\\\\server\\share\\dir\\file.txt");

or:

      SmbFile("\\\\user:password at server\\share\\");

or even "mix and match", i.e.:

      SmbFile("\\\\server\\", "share/dir/file.txt");
      SmbFile("smb://server/share/", "dir\\file.txt");

Don't know if there is any actual real demand for any of this, though.
