I rebased and updated it several times.

pycurl objects are fairly complex and their parts need to be freed in a
certain sequence. Also operations like reset free some but not all
parts of pycurl objects. Bit fields are for these memory groups.

This probably will not be easily possible due to memory management
issues, i.e., the python objects that are handed to libcurl need to
have their reference counts incremented to ensure they are not freed
while libcurl is using them.

Certainly.
