URI.parse('http://myapi.com').join('posts', '1')
=> undefined method 'join' for #<URI::HTTP http://myapi.com>

URI.join('http://myapi.com', 'posts', '1')

::SmartURI.join('http://myapi.com', 'posts', '1').to_s

SmartURI.parse('http://myapi.com', 'posts', '1').to_s

As you can see, it makes building URI's / working with API's much easier

Under the hood it just uses SimpleDelegator, so all the normal URI methods should, work when working with a SmartURI object
