But it would increase the libcurl overhead, either a run-time overhead for
all users because of an extra indirection on all memory function calls (for
a straightforward implementation), or a code size/maintenance overhead (for
an implementation built around macros). There's a cost for implementing
this (or any) feature, and it has to be balanced against the potential gain.
