Exposing functions PathEscape and PathUnescape in net/url

[r.w.jo...@gmail.com]

Hello,

When the net/url package was update for Go 1.5, was consideration given to adding functions PathEscape and PathUnescape to the package net/url?  The functionality is already present (see func (*URL) EscapedPath), but not exposed in a usable manner.  The functions would also be a natural complement to QueryEscape and QueryUnescape.

Thank-you.

I don't think any consideration was given. It would have been useful
for e.g. https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/16859/5/webdav/webdav.go
although that code as is also works.

Let's see what bradfitz thinks (after Go 1.6 is released).
