Nope, not yet.

Looking at it again, maybe it isn't so bad :)

I think I was having problems with the different shapes of different
types of URIs, and that each scheme should probably be represented by
its own class. I'm not sure, for example, what the HTTP client should
do if it's presented with an FTP URL.

And does it make sense to send a string to to the HTTP client? Maybe
it should be a 'uri' or maybe it should be an 'http_uri'?

I definitely think it's worth doing, I'm just not sure I can find a
good abstraction at the moment, but we could start with a simple URI
and move from there, I suppose.
