The patch allows to reverse the order of query and fragment identifier.

broken urls like this:

http://www.yahoo.com/index.html#angels?ser=15

are now parsed into correct urls like this one:

http://www.yahoo.com/index.html?ser=15#angels

According to the rfc, the query precedes the fragment identifier,
but many people don't know that.

A mozilla testcase exposed this behaviour.
