I am adamently opposed to using ^ as an escape character when percent
escaping is more than sufficient for that purpose. The carat isn't
even allowed by the URI syntax.
Use of balanced parentheses is a mistake. A simple left-to-right
delimited syntax is easier to implement:
fred#line=30;char=20-45
and then precent-escape ";" and "=" if needed as data. Parser reuse
is a good thing.
