Re: [whatwg/url] Proposal: file: URL separator deduplication (#552)

Right now, with the exception of drive letters, pathnames are pretty consistent between different schemes. I think it'd be unfortunate to have the slash-collapsing behavior just for `file` URLs.

Additionally, parsing `file:///etc//passwd` gives consistent results on a wide variety of parsers across different languages:

I would really want to preserve this level of interop, which is quite rare in `file` URLs.
