so we'd have something like:

template <class Tags>
class basic_uri {
public:
    typename string<Tags>::type scheme() const;
    typename string<Tags>::type host() const;
    int host() const;
    typename string<Tags>::type user_info() const;
    typename string<Tags>::type authority() const;
    // etc.
};

and the member functions return empty strings for the components that don't
apply?  That's not a problem.

If you want to compare with other languages, the documentation for Java's
URI class is good:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/URI.html

Do you have time to do a lot with this?  Could we target a 0.4 release with
a URI class?  I can help with what I can, but I'm really busy at work.
