Recently a script [0] I infrequently use stopped working because
curl had been configured without cookie support and thus the --cookie
and --cookie-jar options were silently ignored.

Obviously that was my mistake, but I think it would be preferable
if the options were rejected with a clear error message and return
code.

It certainly would have helped me figure out the problem more
quickly.

Any opinions about this?
