generates a url '/a/c/f' corresponding to application a, controller c
and function f. If r=request is passed, a, c, f are set, respectively,
to r.application, r.controller, r.function.

The more typical usage is:

URL(r=request, f='index') that generates a url for the index function
within the present application and controller.

:param a: application (default to current if r is given)
:param c: controller (default to current if r is given)
:param f: function (default to current if r is given)
:param r: request (optional)
:param args: any arguments (optional)
:param vars: any variables (optional)
:param anchor: anchorname, without # (optional)
:param hmac_key: key to use when generating hmac signature (optional)
:param hash_vars: which of the vars to include in our hmac signature
    True (default) - hash all vars, False - hash none of the vars,
    iterable - hash only the included vars ['key1','key2']
:param scheme: URI scheme (True, 'http' or 'https', etc); forces absolute URL (optional)
:param host: string to force absolute URL with host (True means http_host)
:param port: optional port number (forces absolute URL)

:raises SyntaxError: when no application, controller or function is
    available
:raises SyntaxError: when a CRLF is found in the generated url
