Re: [whatwg/url] Do not remove newline and tab characters (#419)

What is the reason behind the removal of those characters?

I would like URLs to have those two properties:
- Use the same rules both in the constructor and in the setters.
- Support an equivalence between system paths and `file://` URLs: all unique valid paths should have a corresponding unique valid URL. This is important to me as it reduces edge cases: currently the spec silently drops some characters. It has caused me some bugs because different file paths led to the same file URL.

Having those two properties would imply that the constructor should be changed to no longer remove these characters. (Instead of removing the characters even in the setters)
