     * Open a URL/URI in the browser or other appropriate external application.
     *
     * Open a URL in a separate, system-provided application. How this works will
     * vary wildly depending on the platform. This will likely launch what makes
     * sense to handle a specific URL's protocol (a web browser for `http://`,
     * etc), but it might also be able to launch file managers for directories and
     * other things.
     *
     * What happens when you open a URL varies wildly as well: your game window
     * may lose focus (and may or may not lose focus if your game was fullscreen
     * or grabbing input at the time). On mobile devices, your app will likely
     * move to the background or your process might be paused. Any given platform
     * may or may not handle a given URL.
     *
     * If this is unimplemented (or simply unavailable) for a platform, this will
     * fail with an error. A successful result does not mean the URL loaded, just
     * that we launched _something_ to handle it (or at least believe we did).
     *
     * All this to say: this function can be useful, but you should definitely
     * test it on every platform you target.
     *
     * \param url A valid URL/URI to open. Use `file:///full/path/to/file` for
     *            local files, if supported.
     * \returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call
     *          SDL_GetError() for more information.
     *
     * \since This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
