Since it's "called 'effective url'", "eurl" would be a more memorable
prefix. It might be better (despite the existing "url" for the complete
url) to use "iurl" (initial) or "rurl" (requested) for the requested url
and its components for consistency and to emphasize the distinction.
You could keep "url" as a compatibility name, of course.
I vote for '.' over -'- as the delimiter. It's consistent with
structure/component references in other languages, and the variables are
all members of a URL.
