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.
