Agreed! But at least, return code 550 for the RETR command does not
suffer some comment such as the one for SIZE in RFC3659. A 550 error
code after RETR should be 99% of times due to "file not found" or "no
permission". Although not always accurate (according to its name),
returning CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND in this case would help
discriminate it among other 55x error codes.
