openUrlReader
and openUrlWriter
follow a similar pattern to file.reader
and friends in terms of their arguments. #20475 updates file.reader
and friends to use a region
argument instead of start
and end
arguments and these functions in the URL
module were adjusted to call the more stable versions. However, it would make sense for them to also update their interface, both to stay in sync with their counterparts and because Chapel's range
type is a more natural interface to use to indicate regions of a webpage.
#20475 did not take this on because the URL
module is not intended to be stabilized for Chapel 2.0, but I anticipate this being an easy change to make
