I suggest you then use CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK or something, and pass on
some kind of private data/info using a struct you passed to pointer to to your
callback.

The CURLE_OBSOLETE* defines cannot be reused officially without careful
considerations and possibly even an ABI number bump.

If you would add a completely new define, what would you call it and how would
you document it?
