----------------------------------------
I tried to parse an invalid URI with the URI library. I expected an error such as URI::InvalidComponentError or URI::InvalidComponentError, but I got "undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)".

The simplest way to check this is as follows:
  ruby -ruri -e 'URI "mailto:/example.com/"'
which produces
/usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/uri/mailto.rb:138:in `initialize': undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/uri/rfc3986_parser.rb:75:in `new'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/uri/rfc3986_parser.rb:75:in `parse'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/uri/common.rb:226:in `parse'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/uri/common.rb:713:in `URI'
        from -e:1:in `<main>'

I have some ideas for how to fix this, e.g. add
  raise InvalidComponentError if @opaque.nil?
before the offending line (/lib/uri/mailto.rb:138), and will go forward and add such a fix unless I hear some advice to the contrary.
