Should we escape \url special characters in Beamer?

[Scott Kostyshak]

The \url command does not need to be escaped in standard classes. However, Beamer is special:

  https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/504463/pound-sign-in-href-link-in-beamers-frame-environment

From what I understand, to get \url to work with characters like '#' in Beamer, either '#' needs to be escaped, or a "fragile" frame should be used.

Should LyX escape '#' in the 'Frame' environment, or do we put the responsibility on the user to know to use a Fragile Frame?
