I think we could just treat them all the same. Except for local paths (where
everything is decoded) these would never be encoded when URL is received and
never decoded when it is printed.

Also this list does not include the #, that is forbidden in URL and is used
to separate the fragment in URL-reference. We need to treat that as reserved
as well.

I wonder what '$' is used for (it's reserved in query string, but the RFC
does not give any rules for that), but let's be consistent with the spec.
