changing -# output on unknown data size?

Hey
Here's how the -# progress bar currently works:
1. If the total transfer size is known, it uses a single line to show a
progress bar growing from 0% to 100%.
2. If curl doesn't know the total transfer size, it instead outputs a (hash)
'#' once for every transferred kilobyte of data.
We've been discussing improving mode (2). I would like to make it only use a
single line even for that.
I might have gone a little overboard, but I felt inspired and I've posted a
suggestion on how curl could instead behave that might be more appealing to
users. There's even a small demo video showing it off.
