chrome:// URLs cannot be opened using command line arguments

Reported by thehunmo...@gmail.com, Jul 29 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.13 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a Terminal window in OS X
2. Run the following command: open -a "Google Chrome" --args chrome://settings

What is the expected behavior?
A new instance of Chrome is opened, with the chrome://settings page loaded

What went wrong?
The chrome://settings page does not load

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 61.0.3163.13  Channel: dev
OS Version: OS X 10.12.5
Flash Version: 

The following command works fine for opening normal URLs: open -a "Google Chrome" --args http://example.com

It is possible to set chrome:// URLs as startup pages in the UI, and it seems they should also be supported via CLI.

As reported this issue is only with Chrome specific url's, Since this works fine on Windows and Mac with regular url's : 

Windows  : C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application/chrome.exe android.com
Mac : /Applications/Google \Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome android.com

Agreed with comment 1; this seems intentional.
