Instead of adding a -fd variant to each command, maybe a more generic
approach would be to have a syntax that indicates a filename is really an
fd. Something like an ampersand followed by the digits of fd number. (An
ampersand ('&') would require suitable command line escaping/quoting.) This
could be used with any command that recognizes the alternative syntax. A
favorite of mine would be -K, --config with an fd to hide command line
options when a program is driving curl.

-K '&3'
--config \&${config_fd}

--proxy-cacert '&4'
