Well, we need to handle what servers do or can do, and duplicated headers is a
very common mistake in the wild - sometimes not even by mistake.

I'm not following. If you're talking about libcurl selection a specific single
auth method at once, that should still behave the proper way. It just means
that the user of libcurl has specified exactly one single auth method so that
we know which method to use.

I don't see a need for --preemptive.
