Yeah but also all of the legacy baggage that it comes with, y’know?
Like the URL parsing stuff for example. The issue is that they pull in one of these enormous old RFC’s and also say “but UTF-8” without any more explanation.
A better URL might be a good thing — scope it down to what’s in common use, design it tightly for your needs, etc. But if you’re gonna do that, do it! Rather than just pulling in an RFC with decades of baggage and then modifying it ad-hoc.
