Mathias Bynens 8ee50178f3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

### URLJoin
Joins all given URL segments together, then normalizes the resulting URL.
Use `String.prototype.join('/')` to combine URL segments, then a series of `String.prototype.replace()` calls with various regexps to normalize the resulting URL (remove double slashes, add proper slashes for protocol, remove slashes before parameters, combine parameters with `'&'` and normalize first parameter delimiter).
```js
const URLJoin = (...args) =>
args
.join('/')
.replace(/[\/]+/g, '/')
.replace(/^(.+):\//, '$1://')
.replace(/^file:/, 'file:/')
.replace(/\/(\?|&|#[^!])/g, '$1')
.replace(/\?/g, '&')
.replace('&', '?');
```
```js
URLJoin('http://www.google.com', 'a', '/b/cd', '?foo=123', '?bar=foo'); // 'http://www.google.com/a/b/cd?foo=123&bar=foo'
```
