/**
 * Sane URL implementation that normalises URL fragments (hashes) and
 * path names for "data:" URLs, and makes them idempotent.
 *
 * At the time of writing this, the web is approximately 10 000 days (or
 * ~27.39 years) old.  One should think that by this point we would have
 * solved URLs.  The following code is prudent example that we have not.
 *
 * When a URL with a fragment identifier but no explicit name for the
 * fragment is given, i.e. "#", the {@code hash} property a {@code URL}
 * object computes is an empty string.  This is incidentally the same as
 * the default value of URLs without fragments, causing a lot of confusion.
 *
 * This means that the URL "http://a/#b" produces a hash of "#b", but that
 * "http://a/#" produces "".  This implementation rectifies this behaviour
 * by returning the actual full fragment, which is "#".
 *
 * "data:" URLs that contain fragments, which if they have the same origin
 * and path name are not meant to cause a page reload on navigation,
 * confusingly adds the fragment to the {@code pathname} property.
 * This implementation remedies this behaviour by trimming it off.
 *
 * The practical result of this is that while {@code URL} objects are
 * not idempotent, the returned URL elements from this implementation
 * guarantees that |url.hash == url.hash|.
 *
 * @param {string|URL} o
 *     Object to make an URL of.
 *
 * @return {navigate.IdempotentURL}
 *     Considered by some to be a somewhat saner URL.
 *
 * @throws TypeError
 *     If |o| is not a valid type or if is a string that cannot be parsed
 *     as a URL.
