I was exploring wrapping ada_url for PHP (
https://github.com/lnear-dev/ada-url). It works,
but it's a bit slower,
likely due to the implementation of the objects. I was planning to embed
the zvals directly in the object, similar to PhpToken, but I haven't had
the chance and don't really need it anymore. Shouldn't be too much work to
clean it up though
