Do you mean just the path-handling interface of the URL container or
do you mean the whole container? For example using `operator/`?

I'm generally against getting fancy with overloading operators and
trying to make  DSL. I have found that simple works best. In the case
of the URL container, good ole' fashioned "get" and "set" functions
with accurate, consistent, and descriptive are called for. I did
splurge a little bit and work up some container-like views over the
path and query params. And the query params will be modifiable through
the view, for example to insert or change params. (or erase them).

Thanks
