In short: you desire the option of setting a post-SSL-handshake callback,
before you start to transfer bytes over the SSL session.

Including an option to point to a piece of data. Am I correct?

This could be made functional for other backends. Technically all of the
backends could be equipped with this. It would help the app-developers to be
able to know which SSL backend was used in a libcurl build. For example on a
variety of Linux distributions it is possible to install libcurl with a
variety of SSL backends. It's currently not easy to know which SSL backend
is used.
