It's an interesting idea, but URL just returns a string, and aside from being a
fairly big rewrite, it's likely that it would break existing code that relies
on it being a string.
You could create your own object that takes the same arguments as URL and
stores them as attributes, and whose __str__ and __repr__ functions are the
actual call to URL().
