     *  \par RFC Reference
     *       \note https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986 - Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax - 2005
     *             Updates: 1738; Obsoletes 2732, 2396, 1808
     *             (so combines relative and absolute)
     *
     *  A URI is EITHER a URL, or a relative reference to a URL. This definition is VERY MUCH LESS THAN CLEAR,
     *  but the closest I can infer from:
     *      https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986
     *
     *          A URI can be further classified as a locator, a name, or both.  The
     *          term "Uniform Resource Locator" (URL) refers to the subset of URIs
     *          that, in addition to identifying a resource, provide a means of
     *          locating the resource by describing its primary access mechanism
     *          (e.g., its network "location").
     *
     *  From:
     *      https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3
     *
     *          The generic URI syntax consists of a hierarchical sequence of
     *          components referred to as the scheme, authority, path, query, and
     *          fragment
     *          ...
     *         The following are two example URIs and their component parts:
     *
     *               foo://example.com:8042/over/there?name=ferret#nose
     *               \_/   \______________/\_________/ \_________/ \__/
     *                |           |            |            |        |
     *             scheme     authority       path        query   fragment
     *                |   _____________________|__
     *               / \ /                        \
     *               urn:example:animal:ferret:nose
     *
     *  \note This code does not currently (as of v2.1d23) address https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#appendix-C - URI delimiting (finding the boundaries of the URI from
     *        surrounding text).
     *
     *  \note   One subtlety with the URI syntax is that:
     *          https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.3
     *              If a URI contains an authority component, then the path component
     *              must either be empty or begin with a slash ("/") character
     *          If you look at the syntax/BNF, this makes sense. But logically, it makes no sense. The specification of an authority
     *          then PROHIBITS the specification of a relative path.
     *
     *          But - I don't get to write the specs ;-).
     *
     *          So this class triggers throws if you ever attempt to specify a non-empty path that doesn't start with /
     *          on a URI that has an authority.
     *
     *          This poses some difficulties for code that wants to update BOTH the authority and the path of a URI (which do you do first - tricky).
     *          But its easy enough to avoid by re-constructing the URI from scratch using the URI (individual components) constructor.
     *      
     *  \note <a href="Design-Overview.md#Comparisons">Comparisons</a>:
     *        o static_assert (totally_ordered<URI>);
