This change will mean mapping the query would take one extra test - or we
will have to have a separate function to help filter it out.

(define (url-query* url)
  (if (not (url-query url)) '() (url-query url)))

Which probably should be supplied within net/url so people who depends on
the binding do not have to write their own.
