Re: [whatwg/url] Consider adding non-throwing URL.parse(input, base) (#372)

I still think this, more so than many of the API additions proposed, is a good idea with no real downsides. IMO parser APIs should always provide a mode that returns a failure sentinel instead of throwing an exception. See e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/design-guidelines/exceptions-and-performance#try-parse-pattern

However, I admit that we haven't seen a lot of demand---probably because try/catch is easy enough to use.
