That datasette.urls.table("db", "table") + ".json" example is bad because if the table name contains a . it should be ?_format=json instead.

Maybe .table() should have a format="json" option that knows how to do this.

Reconsidering this: I think the .get() etc methods should automatically add the base_url prefix for you, since these APIs are only intended to make internal calls.

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.

We have a solution for this now: datasette.urls from #1033 can be used by plugins to assemble the correct URLs to pass to .get() and friends.
