Re: [whatwg/url] Differentiate from zero-sized fragment and no fragment in url (Issue #779)

Host has this problem too. 

- You cannot distinguish `sc:///foo` from `sc:/foo`, nor can you distinguish `sc:` from `sc://` by inspecting the properties of their corresponding URL objects (other than the href itself).

There is this [classic post] according to which query and fragment have been in use fairly consistently to refer to the search without the `?` sigil and the hash without the `#` sigil.

So one option is to fix search and hash and make them available as query and fragment instead. The search and hash getters / setters can then be marked as legacy or deprecated (but not removed).
