/**
 * <p>
 * A URI instance represents that defined by 
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt">RFC3986</a>,
 * with some deviations.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * At its highest level, a URI consists of:
 * </p>
 * <code>[<em>scheme</em><strong>:</strong>]<em>scheme-specific-part</em>
 * [<strong>#</strong><em>fragment</em>]</code>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * where <strong>#</strong> and <strong>:</strong> are literal characters,
 * and those parts enclosed in square brackets are optional.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * There are two main types of URI.  An <em>opaque</em> URI is one
 * which just consists of the above three parts, and is not further
 * defined.  An example of such a URI would be <em>mailto:</em> URI.
 * In contrast, <em>hierarchical</em> URIs give further definition
 * to the scheme-specific part, so as represent some part of a hierarchical
 * structure.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <code>[<strong>//</strong><em>authority</em>][<em>path</em>]
 * [<strong>?</strong><em>query</em>]</code>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * with <strong>/</strong> and <strong>?</strong> being literal characters.
 * When server-based, the authority section is further subdivided into:
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <code>[<em>user-info</em><strong>@</strong>]<em>host</em>
 * [<strong>:</strong><em>port</em>]</code>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * with <strong>@</strong> and <strong>:</strong> as literal characters.
 * Authority sections that are not server-based are said to be registry-based.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Hierarchical URIs can be either relative or absolute.  Absolute URIs
 * always start with a `<strong>/</strong>', while relative URIs don't
 * specify a scheme.  Opaque URIs are always absolute.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Each part of the URI may have one of three states: undefined, empty
 * or containing some content.  The former two of these are represented
 * by <code>null</code> and the empty string in Java, respectively.
 * The scheme-specific part may never be undefined.  It also follows from
 * this that the path sub-part may also not be undefined, so as to ensure
 * the former.
 * </p>
 * <h2>Character Escaping and Quoting</h2>
 * <p>
 * The characters that can be used within a valid URI are restricted.
 * There are two main classes of characters which can't be used as is
 * within the URI:
 * </p>
 * <ol>
 * <li><strong>Characters outside the US-ASCII character set</strong>.
 * These have to be <strong>escaped</strong> in order to create
 * an RFC-compliant URI; this means replacing the character with the
 * appropriate hexadecimal value, preceded by a `%'.</li>
 * <li><strong>Illegal characters</strong> (e.g. space characters,
 * control characters) are quoted, which results in them being encoded
 * in the same way as non-US-ASCII characters.</li>
 * </ol>
 * <p>
 * The set of valid characters differs depending on the section of the URI:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li><strong>Scheme</strong>: Must be an alphanumeric, `-', `.' or '+'.</li>
 * <li><strong>Authority</strong>:Composed of the username, host, port, `@'
 * and `:'.</li>
 * <li><strong>Username</strong>: Allows unreserved or percent-encoded
 * characters, sub-delimiters and `:'.</li>
 * <li><strong>Host</strong>: Allows unreserved or percent-encoded
 * characters, sub-delimiters and square brackets (`[' and `]') for IPv6
 * addresses.</li>
 * <li><strong>Port</strong>: Digits only.</li>
 * <li><strong>Path</strong>: Allows the path characters and `/'.
 * <li><strong>Query</strong>: Allows the path characters, `?' and '/'.
 * <li><strong>Fragment</strong>: Allows the path characters, `?' and '/'.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * These definitions reference the following sets of characters:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li><strong>Unreserved characters</strong>: The alphanumerics plus
 * `-', `.', `_', and `~'.</li>
 * <li><strong>Sub-delimiters</strong>: `!', `$', `&', `(', `)', `*',
 * `+', `,', `;', `=' and the single-quote itself.</li>
 * <li><strong>Path characters</strong>: Unreserved and percent-encoded
 * characters and the sub-delimiters along with `@' and `:'.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * The constructors and accessor methods allow the use and retrieval of
 * URI components which contain non-US-ASCII characters directly.
 * They are only escaped when the <code>toASCIIString()</code> method
 * is used.  In contrast, illegal characters are always quoted, with the
 * exception of the return values of the non-raw accessors.
 * </p>
