loc splicing does not build URIs the right way (e.g. spaces end up being not encoded when the loc is printed)

[jurgenvinju]

rascal>str myPath = "  ";
str: "  "
rascal>|hello://<myPath>|
|prompt:///|(0,18,<1,0>,<1,18>): MalFormedURI("hello://  ")
        at $shell$(|prompt:///|(0,18,<1,0>,<1,18>))
rascal>|hello:///| + myPath 
loc: |hello:///%20%20|

that could be solved by calling the correct overload of the sourceLocation method of the ValueFactory.

I think that now we first concat everything and then use new URI() on that string. Which is easier to code, but incorrect.

[DavyLandman]

so it would mean that in java for the interpolated source location literal you have to find in which part (scheme, authority, path,...) the interpolation is.

[jurgenvinju]

Yes; we should change the template grammar to make sure we can store each field in the proper place (i.e. authority has a different notations from path, etc).

[jurgenvinju]

This is still broken.
