How to use stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters() for a URL in Swift 2.0

by

For the given URL string the equivalent to 

let urlwithPercentEscapes = myurlstring.stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)

is the character set URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet

let urlwithPercentEscapes = myurlstring.stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters( NSCharacterSet.URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet())

Swift 3:

let urlwithPercentEscapes = myurlstring.addingPercentEncoding( withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed)

It encodes everything after the question mark in the URL string.

Since the method stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters can return nil, use optional bindings as suggested in the answer of Leo Dabus.
