It seems the text for callers of this algorithm is written that way: "creating a URL pattern, given dictionaryValue["match"], request's current URL and an empty map".

Also,  request's current URL is an URL not a string, so we should perform a serialization similar to https://urlpattern.spec.whatwg.org/#other-specs-http (IIUC we can't use that one, because dictionary["match"] is a dictionary value not an HTTP structured field value).
