Yeps. As libcurl doesn't provide you with the list of added handles[*], you
either maintain your own list or don't care about them until libcurl tells you
about the completed ones.

Suppose you instead implement the imaginary browser with all tabs using the
same multi handle, how would you know which easy handles to remove for one of
the tabs?

[*] = with any currently existing API. As mentioned before we can always
discuss adding missing functionality.
