01The signal

The report, exactly as it was filed.

Nothing paraphrased or cleaned up. The mess is the thing under test.

URI.js#226 · as filedcommit 5331344

.relativeTo() requires trailing slash

This seems related to #224, but is a little different:

```
> URI("http://example.com/").relativeTo("http://example.com/foo").toString()
""
> URI("http://example.com/foo/").relativeTo("http://example.com/foo/bar").toString()
""
```

I expected either `.` or `./`.

02What counts as reproducing it

The bar, written down before the run.

expected.reportedFailurecommitted with the case
Symptom
URI("http://example.com/").relativeTo("http://example.com/foo").toString() produces ''; the fix makes it produce './'.
Expression
URI("http://example.com/").relativeTo("http://example.com/foo").toString()
Reported output
""
Where that came from
Read mechanically from the report's fenced code, REPL form: `> URI("http://example.com/").relativeTo("http://example.com/foo").toString() ""`.
