While this is a curl-users question, the answer is no. The reason is simply
because the --libcurl options shows excatly what options curl set, not which
few it could get away with setting if it didn't set default values to a lot of
options.

Offering the suggested feature would make the curl tool get a lot of knowledge
about what the internal defaults are for various options, which it doens't
have to have now.

It means curl set the CURLOPT_SEEKDATA option, but that's a callback function
so the address to the function curl used is not of interest to anyone but the
--libcurl option still outputs that line to show that the option was indeed
used.
