True, but then again, the same could be said for the following included
helpers:

curl_formadd() build multipart form-data posts
curl_formfree() free a previously built form POST
curl_slist_append() builds a linked list
curl_slist_free_all() frees a whole curl_slist as made with
curl_slist_append() builds a linked list
curl_easy_escape() URL encodes a string
curl_easy_unescape() URL decodes a string

So, curl already provides some helper not implementing basic
functinality directly in the library.
