I´m just reading URI paper when I saw the ranged parts

URI part	Range	String
scheme	[a, b)	"http"
user_info		nullopt
host	[c, d)	"www.example.com"
port		nullopt
path	[d, e)	"/path/"
query	[f, g)	"key=value"
fragment	[h, i)	"fragment"

I think that is possible to skip the need to use nullopt, if we use an empty string_view, pointing URI part begin() and end() to same address, for example, "user info" be pointed to [b,b).

There is a distinction between saying whether a part is empty and when it is not present. For example, if we re-write the URI in example above as:

http://www.example.com:/path/?key=value#fragment

The port is now an empty sub-string, instead of not being present.
