    """A function that greatly simplifies the parsing of a url
    specified by the end user.

     Valid syntaxes are:
        <schema>://<user>@<host>:<port>/<path>
        <schema>://<user>:<passwd>@<host>:<port>/<path>
        <schema>://<host>:<port>/<path>
        <schema>://<host>/<path>
        <schema>://<host>
        <host>

     Argument parsing is also supported:
        <schema>://<user>@<host>:<port>/<path>?key1=val&key2=val2
        <schema>://<user>:<passwd>@<host>:<port>/<path>?key1=val&key2=val2
        <schema>://<host>:<port>/<path>?key1=val&key2=val2
        <schema>://<host>/<path>?key1=val&key2=val2
        <schema>://<host>?key1=val&key2=val2

     The function returns a simple dictionary with all of
     the parsed content within it and returns 'None' if the
     content could not be extracted.

     The output of 'http://hostname' would look like:
        {

          'url': 'http://hostname',

          'qsd+': {},
          'qsd-': {},
          'qsd:': {}
        }

     The simple switch cleans the dictionary response to only include the
     fields that were detected.

     The output of 'http://hostname' with the simple flag set would look like:
        {
          'schema': 'http',
