Base64UrlSafe violating RFC 3548?

Hi,

I recently stumbled across Base64UrlSafe, which claims
'Provides Base64 encoding and decoding with URL and filename safe
alphabet as defined by RFC 3548, section 4.'
In the mentioned section of the RFC [1], they use the '-' character
for value 62 and '_' for value 63.
Strangely, Base64UrlSafe uses '*' for 62 and '-' for 63. Is there any
particular reason why it
doesn't follow the RFC?

Cheers,
Jonas
