+/**
+ * Node.js has a function called url.pathToFileURL(path).
+ * https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#urlpathtofileurlpath
+ *
+ * It is explained as follows...
+ *
+ * This function ensures that path is resolved absolutely,
+ * and that the URL control characters are correctly encoded when converting into a File URL.
+ *
+ * new URL('/foo#1', 'file:');           // Incorrect: file:///foo#1
+ * pathToFileURL('/foo#1');              // Correct:   file:///foo%231 (POSIX)
+ *
+ * new URL('/some/path%.c', 'file:');    // Incorrect: file:///some/path%.c
+ * pathToFileURL('/some/path%.c');       // Correct:   file:///some/path%25.c (POSIX)
+ *
+ * It is unclear why node states that 'file:///some/path%.c' is incorrect. Any path part of URL should
+ * be percent decoded prior to intepreting it as a path. Yet both /some/path%.c and /some/path%25.c
+ * should, after percent decoding, become /some/path%.c. Maybe the intention is that the path are to be
+ * treated verbatim?
+ *
+ * For reference, the path percent-encode set is:
+ *
+ * U+0020 SPACE, U+0022 ("), U+0023 (#), U+003C (<), and U+003E (>), U+003F (?), U+0060 (`), U+007B ({), and U+007D (}).
+ * C0 controls:  range U+0000 NULL to U+001F INFORMATION SEPARATOR ONE, inclusive.
+ * and all code points greater than U+007E (~).
+ *
+ * Thus '%' is allowed as a path character in a URL.
+ * 
+ * What does the reference to POSIX means?
+ *
+ * Under many operating systems, including common Linux distributions and macos,
+ * both file names path%.c and path%25.c are allowed as one can easily check.
+ *
+ * Type the following commands in a shell:
+ *
+ * touch path%.c
+ * touch path%25.c
+ * ls path*
+ *
+ * You can distinguish between the two in path if you use percent encoding: path%25.c and path%2525.c.
+ *
+ * Which path names are legal typically does not just depend on the operating system, it also depends
+ * critical on the file system.
