    @class wxURI

    wxURI is used to extract information from a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier).

    For information about URIs, see RFC 3986 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt).

    In short, a URL is a URI. In other words, URL is a subset of a URI - all
    acceptable URLs are also acceptable URIs.

    wxURI automatically escapes invalid characters in a string, so there is no
    chance of wxURI "failing" on construction/creation.

    wxURI supports copy construction and standard assignment operators. wxURI
    can also be inherited from to provide furthur functionality.

    To obtain individual components you can use one of the GetXXX() methods.
    However, you should check HasXXX() before calling a get method, which
    determines whether or not the component referred to by the method is
    defined according to RFC 2396. Consider an undefined component equivalent
    to a @NULL C string.

    Example:
    @code
        // protocol will hold the http protocol (i.e. "http")
        wxString protocol;
        wxURI myuri("http://mysite.com");
        if( myuri.HasScheme() )
            protocol = myuri.GetScheme();
    @endcode

    @note On URIs with a "file" scheme wxURI does not parse the userinfo,
          server, or port portion. This is to keep compatability with
          wxFileSystem, the old wxURL, and older url specifications.
