java.net.URL.getBasePath() --> time to have it?

[Bruno Borges]

Hey folks,

To be able to get the basePath of a URL so they can load other stuff 
that came from a relative path, it is usual to see people coding stuff 
like this:

https://gist.github.com/4355670

I don't know if there's something in the Java API that offers this, but 
it would be a great increment to the URL class (and perhaps URI as 
well), to offer this out of the box.

Thoughts?
