The scheme is not optional, it defines what (kind) the URL is. You are expecting behaviour such as in a browser's address bar. But there, there is context (you are expecting an HTTP URL).

I did see the defaultScheme: variant. I��m not saying we should necessarily assume HTTP. I��m just saying if someone gives us a string like 'www.hm.com�� (which I agree is incompletely defined), why set #segments and not #host? Even with scheme = nil, the following would be more useful:

'www.hm.com' asUrl host = 'www.hm.com'.
'www.hm.com' asUrl segments = m') an OrderedCollection()
