Assuming you write a lot of code that cherry-picks components from one URL and
copies them into another, then this looks likes a shortcut yes. But it also
looks like a kind of function you can easily implement yourself, using
libcurl's API, in about twenty lines of code or so.
I'm not firmly against introducing a function like this, but I think it is
rather specific for a single use case that might not be what most URL API
users ever need.
