I completed most of the renaming mentioned here, with four exceptions:

I haven't done this one yet. Maciej slightly prefers ParsedURL, to  
emphasize that the URL is different from a String because it's parsed  
into pieces, over the proposed name URL.

I remember that I preferred ParsedURL at one point too, and Anders and  
some others talked me into thinking URL was better. I can't remember  
the arguments on both sides.

Until this is resolved to my satisfaction, I'll leave it as KURL.

Didn't do this one yet, in part because I don't know if Hyatt thinks  
it's a good idea.

Didn't do this one yet. I'm not a big fan of the term "Safe" in names  
like this, so it might be worth thinking more on what would be a  
better name.

Didn't do this one yet, because I'm not sure the proposed names are  
good.
