FWIW i managed to  switch from URI to IRI in  my client, fortunately i
was able to reuse  most of the URL parser. For Punycode  i wrapped a C
library.

Not sure if i did everything right but have met no regression so far.

If other  lisper (CL) are interested  we could arrange a  library from
this code.
