TypeError: Cannot read property 'hostname' of null

I am getting a TypeError when trying to construct a new instance of URI.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'hostname' of null
    at URI.p.href (file:///path/URI-1.18.4.js:1143:52)
    at new URI (file:///path/URI-1.18.4.js:64:10)

Here is a simple test case to reproduce that

var obj = getURIObj(params) // return null when object not found
var u = new URI(obj);

It seems that line 52 handles the case when url is undefined, but it should also throw an exception for null as well.

I don't see why not. PR welcome :)
