Re: [whatwg/url] Allow queries in relative references when the baseURL has an opaque path (Issue #668)

I'm personally pretty satisfied with @annevk's explanation, that the path and query are considered parts of the same thing (response from the server). If a user would really like to modify the query, they can already do that using the `.search` setter, which works independent of relative URL parsing.

> As for the path, I think our restrictions on modifying opaque paths are also questionable.

I don't think there's a _technical_ limitation on why it's forbidden (though it's slightly tricky¹), but rather more of a web compatibility issue.

¹ To ensure roundtrippability, you'd have to check that the new path doesn't start with a `/`, etc.
