Not just this one, but all except URI(String) are broken (that's 
what I've demonstrated in my OP).  As they are not working correctly 
with almost every data which needs to be percent encoded, I think 
they should just accept encoded data and not perform additional 
encoding, apart from encoding the separator characters which 
distinguish them from the other components.

Again, here's the relevant "When to Encode or Decode" section from 
the "URI: Generic Syntax" specification:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-2.4

The URI class may continue to provide decoded component values for 
the cases one doesn't need to parse further into them, but then the 
safest way would be for the constructors to accept encoded values. 
All of:

schemeSpecificPart
authority
path
query

should not be decoded before being actually dereferenced.
