<two cents>
It's a nice ability to have, but I'm of the opinion that this doesn't
belong in cURL. If at all, then maybe as a utility function on top of
the existing multi interface. With regards to stuff like configuring
headers, the curl interfaces are very oriented towards every HTTP
connection being visible to the user.
