This part I think can be simplified into something like this (untested/unimplemented yet): scheme = scheme(instance); // adl takes care of it for us host = host(instance); path = path(instance); query_params_map = query(instance); // returns a proxy object convertible to query_params_string = query(instance); // either a map or a string Although I like the directive-based API (consistent with the message directive-based API) I think for a URI implementation that might be a little too verbose. ;) I can also imagine something like this: tie(scheme, host, path, query_params) = parts(instance); I personally think there's a lot of opportunity for this space to be explored, and offering many different APIs (like those discussed above proposed by Glyn and I) would definitely be nice. :) > assert(scheme == "http"); > assert(host == "example.com"); > assert(path == "/"); > assert(query_params["foo"] == "bar"); > assert(query_params["x"] == "y"); > Looks like the beginnings of a test to me. ;) Glyn/Jeroen would you like to file this as a Trac feature request assigned to me?
