Yes, it is already in CVS and will be in 7.19.0!

Basically that you can force curl to default to -O behavior:

If you add --remote-name-all to your .curlrc file (or similar), you can then
do this like:

$ curl example.com/file1 example.com/file2

... and these files will be stored as 'file1' and 'file2'. It will thus be a
command equivalent to:

$ curl -O example.com/file1 -O example.com/file2

I called that "wget-style" since that's (similar to) how wget does by default
and how lots of people have been wanting curl to do as well in the past.
