class Foundation_API URI
	/// A Uniform Resource Identifier, as specified in RFC 3986.
	/// 
	/// The URI class provides methods for building URIs from their
	/// parts, as well as for splitting URIs into their parts.
	/// Furthermore, the class provides methods for resolving
	/// relative URIs against base URIs.
	///
	/// The class automatically performs a few normalizations on
	/// all URIs and URI parts passed to it:
	///   * scheme identifiers are converted to lower case.
	///   * percent-encoded characters are decoded
	///   * optionally, dot segments are removed from paths (see normalize())
