Hm. This seems a little overkill. There already are two options named
CURLINFO_SIZE_UPLOAD and CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD that returns those size
fields, although separately so that you can decide for yourself which kind of
"content-length" you want.

Why would we need an option that just does a simple addition?

The reason for the doublep is to use a variable that supports a very large
number as 'long long' is not yet in every man's compiler! ;-)

You really should use CVS if you want the bleeding edge.
