The one catch here is plugins that might want to proxy the current incoming URL for some reason - where that incoming `request.path` could include the `base_url`.

Actually those should be fine - because it will have been stripped off earlier:

The clincher on this is when I went to add a section to the `datasette.client` documentation recommending you use `datasette.urls.path()` for every call to them that you make.

But there's a problem: to handle table name escaping users are likely to want to use `datasette.urls.table()` anyway, like this:

    response = await datasette.client.get(datasette.urls.table(""db"", ""table"") + "".json"")

This risks adding the `base_url` prefix twice. Maybe the `.table()` method could return a string-like object that is marked as already having the `base_url` prefix added, so the `client.get()` method knows not to add it again.
