Description
I was recently reminded that file: URIs can specify a hostname. If a file: URI is passed with a hostname, it is currently dropped on the floor silently.
Should something raise NotImplementedError to avoid any confusion? If so, I'm happy to create a test for this case and submit a PR.

Research direction
No file or test path is named. Start by locating the Python implementation that handles file: URIs and the existing tests for URI hostnames; confirm how a hostname is currently handled, then add a regression test for the agreed NotImplementedError behavior.
