I'm sure people have used libcurl for just about any purpose that involves
network data transfers. I don't think "storage traffic" is much different than
a lot of other traffic, network and protocol wise I mean.

Yes, it would be a pretty big change I'd say. And in lots of cases it still
couldn't be used, like when SSL, SSH or HTTP2 are involved... and possibly
some more cases.
