/**
 * Represents a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) reference.
 *
 * <p> Aside from some minor deviations noted below, an instance of this
 * class represents a URI reference as defined by
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt"><i>RFC&nbsp;2396: Uniform
 * Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax</i></a>, amended by <a
 * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt"><i>RFC&nbsp;2732: Format for
 * Literal IPv6 Addresses in URLs</i></a>. The Literal IPv6 address format
 * also supports scope_ids. The syntax and usage of scope_ids is described
 * <a href="Inet6Address.html#scoped">here</a>.
 * This class provides constructors for creating URI instances from
 * their components or by parsing their string forms, methods for accessing the
 * various components of an instance, and methods for normalizing, resolving,
 * and relativizing URI instances.  Instances of this class are immutable.
 *
 *
 * <h3> URI syntax and components </h3>
 *
 * At the highest level a URI reference (hereinafter simply "URI") in string
 * form has the syntax
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * [<i>scheme</i><b>{@code :}</b>]<i>scheme-specific-part</i>[<b>{@code #}</b><i>fragment</i>]
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * where square brackets [...] delineate optional components and the characters
 * <b>{@code :}</b> and <b>{@code #}</b> stand for themselves.
 *
 * <p> An <i>absolute</i> URI specifies a scheme; a URI that is not absolute is
 * said to be <i>relative</i>.  URIs are also classified according to whether
 * they are <i>opaque</i> or <i>hierarchical</i>.
 *
 * <p> An <i>opaque</i> URI is an absolute URI whose scheme-specific part does
 * not begin with a slash character ({@code '/'}).  Opaque URIs are not
 * subject to further parsing.  Some examples of opaque URIs are:
 *
 * <blockquote><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 summary="layout">
 * <tr><td>{@code mailto:java-net@java.sun.com}<td></tr>
 * <tr><td>{@code news:comp.lang.java}<td></tr>
 * <tr><td>{@code urn:isbn:096139210x}</td></tr>
 * </table></blockquote>
 *
 * <p> A <i>hierarchical</i> URI is either an absolute URI whose
 * scheme-specific part begins with a slash character, or a relative URI, that
 * is, a URI that does not specify a scheme.  Some examples of hierarchical
 * URIs are:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * {@code http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/}<br>
 * {@code docs/guide/collections/designfaq.html#28}<br>
 * {@code ../../../demo/jfc/SwingSet2/src/SwingSet2.java}<br>
 * {@code file:///~/calendar}
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p> A hierarchical URI is subject to further parsing according to the syntax
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * [<i>scheme</i><b>{@code :}</b>][<b>{@code //}</b><i>authority</i>][<i>path</i>][<b>{@code ?}</b><i>query</i>][<b>{@code #}</b><i>fragment</i>]
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * where the characters <b>{@code :}</b>, <b>{@code /}</b>,
 * <b>{@code ?}</b>, and <b>{@code #}</b> stand for themselves.  The
 * scheme-specific part of a hierarchical URI consists of the characters
 * between the scheme and fragment components.
 *
 * <p> The authority component of a hierarchical URI is, if specified, either
 * <i>server-based</i> or <i>registry-based</i>.  A server-based authority
 * parses according to the familiar syntax
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * [<i>user-info</i><b>{@code @}</b>]<i>host</i>[<b>{@code :}</b><i>port</i>]
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * where the characters <b>{@code @}</b> and <b>{@code :}</b> stand for
 * themselves.  Nearly all URI schemes currently in use are server-based.  An
 * authority component that does not parse in this way is considered to be
 * registry-based.
 *
 * <p> The path component of a hierarchical URI is itself said to be absolute
 * if it begins with a slash character ({@code '/'}); otherwise it is
 * relative.  The path of a hierarchical URI that is either absolute or
 * specifies an authority is always absolute.
 *
 * <p> All told, then, a URI instance has the following nine components:
 *
 * <blockquote><table summary="Describes the components of a URI:scheme,scheme-specific-part,authority,user-info,host,port,path,query,fragment">
 * <tr><th><i>Component</i></th><th><i>Type</i></th></tr>
 * <tr><td>scheme</td><td>{@code String}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>scheme-specific-part&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td>{@code String}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>authority</td><td>{@code String}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>user-info</td><td>{@code String}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>host</td><td>{@code String}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>port</td><td>{@code int}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>path</td><td>{@code String}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>query</td><td>{@code String}</td></tr>
 * <tr><td>fragment</td><td>{@code String}</td></tr>
 * </table></blockquote>
 *
 * In a given instance any particular component is either <i>undefined</i> or
 * <i>defined</i> with a distinct value.  Undefined string components are
 * represented by {@code null}, while undefined integer components are
 * represented by {@code -1}.  A string component may be defined to have the
 * empty string as its value; this is not equivalent to that component being
 * undefined.
 *
 * <p> Whether a particular component is or is not defined in an instance
 * depends upon the type of the URI being represented.  An absolute URI has a
 * scheme component.  An opaque URI has a scheme, a scheme-specific part, and
 * possibly a fragment, but has no other components.  A hierarchical URI always
 * has a path (though it may be empty) and a scheme-specific-part (which at
 * least contains the path), and may have any of the other components.  If the
 * authority component is present and is server-based then the host component
 * will be defined and the user-information and port components may be defined.
 *
 *
 * <h4> Operations on URI instances </h4>
 *
 * The key operations supported by this class are those of
 * <i>normalization</i>, <i>resolution</i>, and <i>relativization</i>.
 *
 * <p> <i>Normalization</i> is the process of removing unnecessary {@code "."}
 * and {@code ".."} segments from the path component of a hierarchical URI.
 * Each {@code "."} segment is simply removed.  A {@code ".."} segment is
 * removed only if it is preceded by a non-{@code ".."} segment.
 * Normalization has no effect upon opaque URIs.
 *
 * <p> <i>Resolution</i> is the process of resolving one URI against another,
 * <i>base</i> URI.  The resulting URI is constructed from components of both
 * URIs in the manner specified by RFC&nbsp;2396, taking components from the
 * base URI for those not specified in the original.  For hierarchical URIs,
 * the path of the original is resolved against the path of the base and then
 * normalized.  The result, for example, of resolving
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * {@code docs/guide/collections/designfaq.html#28}
 * &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 * &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * against the base URI {@code http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/} is the result
 * URI
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * {@code http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/collections/designfaq.html#28}
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * Resolving the relative URI
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * {@code ../../../demo/jfc/SwingSet2/src/SwingSet2.java}&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * against this result yields, in turn,
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * {@code http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/demo/jfc/SwingSet2/src/SwingSet2.java}
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * Resolution of both absolute and relative URIs, and of both absolute and
 * relative paths in the case of hierarchical URIs, is supported.  Resolving
 * the URI {@code file:///~calendar} against any other URI simply yields the
 * original URI, since it is absolute.  Resolving the relative URI (2) above
 * against the relative base URI (1) yields the normalized, but still relative,
 * URI
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * {@code demo/jfc/SwingSet2/src/SwingSet2.java}
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p> <i>Relativization</i>, finally, is the inverse of resolution: For any
 * two normalized URIs <i>u</i> and&nbsp;<i>v</i>,
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *   <i>u</i>{@code .relativize(}<i>u</i>{@code .resolve(}<i>v</i>{@code )).equals(}<i>v</i>{@code )}&nbsp;&nbsp;and<br>
 *   <i>u</i>{@code .resolve(}<i>u</i>{@code .relativize(}<i>v</i>{@code )).equals(}<i>v</i>{@code )}&nbsp;&nbsp;.<br>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * This operation is often useful when constructing a document containing URIs
 * that must be made relative to the base URI of the document wherever
 * possible.  For example, relativizing the URI
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * {@code http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/index.html}
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * against the base URI
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * {@code http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3}
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * yields the relative URI {@code docs/guide/index.html}.
 *
 *
 * <h4> Character categories </h4>
 *
 * RFC&nbsp;2396 specifies precisely which characters are permitted in the
 * various components of a URI reference.  The following categories, most of
 * which are taken from that specification, are used below to describe these
 * constraints:
 *
 * <blockquote><table cellspacing=2 summary="Describes categories alpha,digit,alphanum,unreserved,punct,reserved,escaped,and other">
 *   <tr><th valign=top><i>alpha</i></th>
 *       <td>The US-ASCII alphabetic characters,
 *        {@code 'A'}&nbsp;through&nbsp;{@code 'Z'}
 *        and {@code 'a'}&nbsp;through&nbsp;{@code 'z'}</td></tr>
 *   <tr><th valign=top><i>digit</i></th>
 *       <td>The US-ASCII decimal digit characters,
 *       {@code '0'}&nbsp;through&nbsp;{@code '9'}</td></tr>
 *   <tr><th valign=top><i>alphanum</i></th>
 *       <td>All <i>alpha</i> and <i>digit</i> characters</td></tr>
 *   <tr><th valign=top><i>unreserved</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *       <td>All <i>alphanum</i> characters together with those in the string
 *        {@code "_-!.~'()*"}</td></tr>
 *   <tr><th valign=top><i>punct</i></th>
 *       <td>The characters in the string {@code ",;:$&+="}</td></tr>
 *   <tr><th valign=top><i>reserved</i></th>
 *       <td>All <i>punct</i> characters together with those in the string
 *        {@code "?/[]@"}</td></tr>
 *   <tr><th valign=top><i>escaped</i></th>
 *       <td>Escaped octets, that is, triplets consisting of the percent
 *           character ({@code '%'}) followed by two hexadecimal digits
 *           ({@code '0'}-{@code '9'}, {@code 'A'}-{@code 'F'}, and
 *           {@code 'a'}-{@code 'f'})</td></tr>
 *   <tr><th valign=top><i>other</i></th>
 *       <td>The Unicode characters that are not in the US-ASCII character set,
 *           are not control characters (according to the {@link
 *           java.lang.Character#isISOControl(char) Character.isISOControl}
 *           method), and are not space characters (according to the {@link
 *           java.lang.Character#isSpaceChar(char) Character.isSpaceChar}
 *           method)&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>(<b>Deviation from RFC 2396</b>, which is
 *           limited to US-ASCII)</i></td></tr>
 * </table></blockquote>
 *
 * <p><a name="legal-chars"></a> The set of all legal URI characters consists of
 * the <i>unreserved</i>, <i>reserved</i>, <i>escaped</i>, and <i>other</i>
 * characters.
 *
 *
 * <h4> Escaped octets, quotation, encoding, and decoding </h4>
 *
 * RFC 2396 allows escaped octets to appear in the user-info, path, query, and
 * fragment components.  Escaping serves two purposes in URIs:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 *   <li><p> To <i>encode</i> non-US-ASCII characters when a URI is required to
 *   conform strictly to RFC&nbsp;2396 by not containing any <i>other</i>
 *   characters.  </p></li>
 *
 *   <li><p> To <i>quote</i> characters that are otherwise illegal in a
 *   component.  The user-info, path, query, and fragment components differ
 *   slightly in terms of which characters are considered legal and illegal.
 *   </p></li>
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * These purposes are served in this class by three related operations:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 *   <li><p><a name="encode"></a> A character is <i>encoded</i> by replacing it
 *   with the sequence of escaped octets that represent that character in the
 *   UTF-8 character set.  The Euro currency symbol ({@code '\u005Cu20AC'}),
 *   for example, is encoded as {@code "%E2%82%AC"}.  <i>(<b>Deviation from
 *   RFC&nbsp;2396</b>, which does not specify any particular character
 *   set.)</i> </p></li>
 *
 *   <li><p><a name="quote"></a> An illegal character is <i>quoted</i> simply by
 *   encoding it.  The space character, for example, is quoted by replacing it
 *   with {@code "%20"}.  UTF-8 contains US-ASCII, hence for US-ASCII
 *   characters this transformation has exactly the effect required by
 *   RFC&nbsp;2396. </p></li>
 *
 *   <li><p><a name="decode"></a>
 *   A sequence of escaped octets is <i>decoded</i> by
 *   replacing it with the sequence of characters that it represents in the
 *   UTF-8 character set.  UTF-8 contains US-ASCII, hence decoding has the
 *   effect of de-quoting any quoted US-ASCII characters as well as that of
 *   decoding any encoded non-US-ASCII characters.  If a <a
 *   href="../nio/charset/CharsetDecoder.html#ce">decoding error</a> occurs
 *   when decoding the escaped octets then the erroneous octets are replaced by
 *   {@code '\u005CuFFFD'}, the Unicode replacement character.  </p></li>
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * These operations are exposed in the constructors and methods of this class
 * as follows:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 *   <li><p> The {@linkplain #URI(java.lang.String) single-argument
 *   constructor} requires any illegal characters in its argument to be
 *   quoted and preserves any escaped octets and <i>other</i> characters that
 *   are present.  </p></li>
 *
 *   <li><p> The {@linkplain
 *   #URI(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,int,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
 *   multi-argument constructors} quote illegal characters as
 *   required by the components in which they appear.  The percent character
 *   ({@code '%'}) is always quoted by these constructors.  Any <i>other</i>
 *   characters are preserved.  </p></li>
 *
 *   <li><p> The {@link #getRawUserInfo() getRawUserInfo}, {@link #getRawPath()
 *   getRawPath}, {@link #getRawQuery() getRawQuery}, {@link #getRawFragment()
 *   getRawFragment}, {@link #getRawAuthority() getRawAuthority}, and {@link
 *   #getRawSchemeSpecificPart() getRawSchemeSpecificPart} methods return the
 *   values of their corresponding components in raw form, without interpreting
 *   any escaped octets.  The strings returned by these methods may contain
 *   both escaped octets and <i>other</i> characters, and will not contain any
 *   illegal characters.  </p></li>
 *
 *   <li><p> The {@link #getUserInfo() getUserInfo}, {@link #getPath()
 *   getPath}, {@link #getQuery() getQuery}, {@link #getFragment()
 *   getFragment}, {@link #getAuthority() getAuthority}, and {@link
 *   #getSchemeSpecificPart() getSchemeSpecificPart} methods decode any escaped
 *   octets in their corresponding components.  The strings returned by these
 *   methods may contain both <i>other</i> characters and illegal characters,
 *   and will not contain any escaped octets.  </p></li>
 *
 *   <li><p> The {@link #toString() toString} method returns a URI string with
 *   all necessary quotation but which may contain <i>other</i> characters.
 *   </p></li>
 *
 *   <li><p> The {@link #toASCIIString() toASCIIString} method returns a fully
 *   quoted and encoded URI string that does not contain any <i>other</i>
 *   characters.  </p></li>
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 *
 * <h4> Identities </h4>
 *
 * For any URI <i>u</i>, it is always the case that
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * {@code new URI(}<i>u</i>{@code .toString()).equals(}<i>u</i>{@code )}&nbsp;.
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * For any URI <i>u</i> that does not contain redundant syntax such as two
 * slashes before an empty authority (as in {@code file:///tmp/}&nbsp;) or a
 * colon following a host name but no port (as in
 * {@code http://java.sun.com:}&nbsp;), and that does not encode characters
 * except those that must be quoted, the following identities also hold:
 * <pre>
 *     new URI(<i>u</i>.getScheme(),
 *             <i>u</i>.getSchemeSpecificPart(),
 *             <i>u</i>.getFragment())
 *     .equals(<i>u</i>)</pre>
 * in all cases,
 * <pre>
 *     new URI(<i>u</i>.getScheme(),
 *             <i>u</i>.getUserInfo(), <i>u</i>.getAuthority(),
 *             <i>u</i>.getPath(), <i>u</i>.getQuery(),
 *             <i>u</i>.getFragment())
 *     .equals(<i>u</i>)</pre>
 * if <i>u</i> is hierarchical, and
 * <pre>
 *     new URI(<i>u</i>.getScheme(),
 *             <i>u</i>.getUserInfo(), <i>u</i>.getHost(), <i>u</i>.getPort(),
 *             <i>u</i>.getPath(), <i>u</i>.getQuery(),
 *             <i>u</i>.getFragment())
 *     .equals(<i>u</i>)</pre>
 * if <i>u</i> is hierarchical and has either no authority or a server-based
 * authority.
 *
 *
 * <h4> URIs, URLs, and URNs </h4>
 *
 * A URI is a uniform resource <i>identifier</i> while a URL is a uniform
 * resource <i>locator</i>.  Hence every URL is a URI, abstractly speaking, but
 * not every URI is a URL.  This is because there is another subcategory of
 * URIs, uniform resource <i>names</i> (URNs), which name resources but do not
 * specify how to locate them.  The {@code mailto}, {@code news}, and
 * {@code isbn} URIs shown above are examples of URNs.
 *
 * <p> The conceptual distinction between URIs and URLs is reflected in the
 * differences between this class and the {@link URL} class.
 *
 * <p> An instance of this class represents a URI reference in the syntactic
 * sense defined by RFC&nbsp;2396.  A URI may be either absolute or relative.
 * A URI string is parsed according to the generic syntax without regard to the
 * scheme, if any, that it specifies.  No lookup of the host, if any, is
 * performed, and no scheme-dependent stream handler is constructed.  Equality,
 * hashing, and comparison are defined strictly in terms of the character
 * content of the instance.  In other words, a URI instance is little more than
 * a structured string that supports the syntactic, scheme-independent
 * operations of comparison, normalization, resolution, and relativization.
 *
 * <p> An instance of the {@link URL} class, by contrast, represents the
 * syntactic components of a URL together with some of the information required
 * to access the resource that it describes.  A URL must be absolute, that is,
 * it must always specify a scheme.  A URL string is parsed according to its
 * scheme.  A stream handler is always established for a URL, and in fact it is
 * impossible to create a URL instance for a scheme for which no handler is
 * available.  Equality and hashing depend upon both the scheme and the
 * Internet address of the host, if any; comparison is not defined.  In other
 * words, a URL is a structured string that supports the syntactic operation of
 * resolution as well as the network I/O operations of looking up the host and
 * opening a connection to the specified resource.

     *   <li><p> An empty authority component is permitted as long as it is

     *
     *   <li> <p> Hostnames in host components that comprise only a single

        //
        //   IPv6address = hexpart [ ":" IPv4address ]

        //   hex4        = 1*4HEXDIG
        //
        // We therefore use the following revised grammar:
        //
        //   IPv6address = hexseq [ ":" IPv4address ]
        //                 | hexseq [ "::" [ hexpost ] ]

        //   hexseq      = hex4 *( ":" hex4)
        //   hex4        = 1*4HEXDIG
        //
        // This covers all and only the following cases:
        //
        //   hexseq
        //   hexseq : IPv4address
        //   hexseq ::
