Description
There are use cases where it does more harm (by affecting the readability of a URL) than good if too many non-ASCII chars are %-encoded. It would be possible to change that without breaking the API by adding Cargo features for the non-ASCII chars (or groups, as in the URL Standard). This would also enable projects to configure this set, that indirectly use this crate though a depedency.
If that's an option, I'll be happy to make a PR for this.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing the crate's percent-encoding API and the linked URL Standard section, then define how Cargo features should group non-ASCII characters while preserving existing behavior. Done means projects can configure the encoded set without breaking the current API.
