/*
 * The following characters will not be escaped:
 *
 *      -_.+!*'(),%#@?=;:/,+&$ alphanum
 *
 * Note that this character set is the addition of:
 *
 *  - The characters which are safe to be in an URL
 *  - The characters which are *not* safe to be in
 *  an URL because they are RESERVED characters.
 *
 * We asume (lazily) that any RESERVED char that
 * appears inside an URL is actually meant to
 * have its native function (i.e. as an URL
 * component/separator) and hence needs no escaping.
 *
 * There are two exceptions: the chacters & (amp)
 * and ' (single quote) do not appear in the table.
 * They are meant to appear in the URL as components,
 * yet they require special HTML-entity escaping
 * to generate valid HTML markup.
 *
 * All other characters will be escaped to %XX.
 *
