this.$route.query and fullPath not working in abstract mode

Steps to reproduce

With vue-router set in abstract mode, when the main App is created, call console.log(this.$route.query) and console.log(this.$route.fullPath), either before or after router.replace('/').

What is expected?

this.$route.query should be an object with the GET values
this.$route.fullPath should display the full route path in the URL

What is actually happening?

regardless of what you write in the URL
this.$route.query is an empty object
this.$route.fullPath is always '/'

---

If you set vue-router in history mode, this.$route.query and fullPath provide the expected value (of course before router.replace('/')).

In abstract mode, when you start the router you are in a nowhere place. It's meant to work in any environment like node without a URL, so it doesn't take into account the current window.location like other histories do

Hi @posva, this seams in contrast with what @yyx990803 and @Samuell1 wrote in #729. They said that the router starts in a nowhere place, but also that you should manually call router.replace to give a change of rendering a non-route URL. If you cannot read the URL, how can you render a non-route URL? And how can you pass any URL parameter, path, or whatever in the abstract mode? I think that the abstract mode should be able to read query and fullPath BEFORE you call router.replace, so that you will have the chance to manually force a non-route node with replace.
