SNMP is not that similar to most of the other protocols curl supports though
so I think Rich's questions are perfectly valid.
Like what exactly would "curl snmp://example.com/foo" show?
Out of all the possible new protocols we _could_ add to curl, I've actually
never seen anyone ask for SNMP before. And doing it "just" to add another
protocol seems like a lot of work for very little gain.
