Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 > The usage could then be:

 {{{
 esc_url( $url, null, 'display', 'https://' );
 }}}

 Looking at this again, I wonder if it's straightforward enough in
 practice, as it would require passing four parameters to every `esc_url()`
 call that might be missing the protocol and should default to `https://`.
 If the site is known to use `https://`, that seems redundant.

 Perhaps this should be a filter instead, like `esc_url_default_protocol`?
 That way it could only be specified once.
