s should call percentDecode before matching segment #20

Url.Parser.s doesn't percentDecode path segments for matching so it returns Nothing instead of match if percent-encoding is used.

While according to RFC 3986 segments should be percent-decoded before matching, making e.g. segments %6f, %6F and o equivalent, according to newer URL Living Standard decoding is not done making those three segments non-equivalent.

The URL Living Standard is a bit vague about the intended behavior so here's an issue I opened about the standard and where I got answer that decoding should not be done: https://github.com/whatwg/url/issues/565
