OK, Now I think I'm beginning to understand.

I guess it isn't so obvious in the hiperfifo example, since libevent
is actually maintaining the collection.

After thinking about it a while, I'm not sure I can come up with
anything better, but here goes nothing:

5. Provide some means to manage the sockets libcurl is using,
   so you can check them for activity. This can be done through
   your application code, or by way of an external library such
   as libevent or glib.
