We needed something similar but with support for various relaxed
parsing cases. The approach we ended up with is to customize the
types and parsing of various URL components with template parameters
and traits:
https://github.com/build2/libbutl/blob/master/libbutl/url.hxx
I am not saying this approach is better than the proposed library.
Just thought I'd mention an alternative design to meditate upon
(I wonder if it would be possible to implement url_view as just
an alias for url<string_view, ...>).
