Add Support for Relative Path Calculation
Is your feature request related to a problem?

Describe the solution you'd like
Current Behavior
The yarl
library provides an intuitive API for handling URL parsing and construction. However, it lacks an operator for directly calculating the relative path between two URLs.
Proposed Feature
Introduce support for using the subtraction operator (-
) to calculate the relative path between two URL
objects. This would simplify the syntax for relative path calculation, making it more intuitive. The operator could calculate the difference between two URLs' paths and return the relative path.
Example Usage
from yarl import URL
url1 = URL('http://example.com/docs/')
url2 = URL('http://example.com/docs/a.json')
relative_path = url1 - url2 # Proposed feature
print(relative_path) # Expected output: 'a.json'
Describe alternatives you've considered
This feature would simplify URL handling in situations where relative paths are frequently needed and would make yarl even more developer-friendly. It would be especially useful in web applications and API development.
Thank you for considering this feature request!
