Aside from using the rather unpleasant backslash character, that
doesn't follow the "standard" URI syntax defined in the applicable
RFCs.  You might have a case for doing:

    smb://workgroup/user:password@server/share

since the "workgroup" portion of the path is defining the "domain"
of the URI, but otherwise I'd avoid making up new ways to do the
same thing with lots of bad side-effects... (How long did it take to
get rid of the mandatory backslashes in SAMBA?  How many problems
have they cause for Microsoft? :)
