Construction of a Uri object

[akrabat]

How should we construct a Uri object?
Our current constructor is:

public function __construct($scheme, $host, $port = null, $path = '/', $query = '', $fragment = '', $user = '', $password = '')

Should it be changed?

I think that the most common use-case is that the user has a string representation of a URI (e.g. "http://example.com/foo") & currently we use a factory called createFromString for this case.

Should we update the way we create Uris for Slim 4? These are the choices for construction of a Uri:

1. $uri = new Uri('http', 'example.com', '/foo'): (as current)
2. $uri = new Uri("http://example.com/foo"): (constructor takes a string)
3. $uri = Uri::createFromString("http://example.com.foo"): (static factory in Uri class)

Note that we also want to support the upcoming http-interop's factories (PSR-17), so we'll also have this way to create a Uri from a string:

$uri = UriFactory::createUri("http://example.com/foo");

Any preferences to how we should create Uris in addition to UriFactory::createUri() ?

I prefer $uri = new Uri("http://example.com/foo"); approach.
