One idea that comes to mind would be for curl_form_set_data() to treat
file: urls as file parts and everything else as string parts. I can
imagine scenarios where this would fail or produce unexpected results,
though.

This is my chief concern. Just about any API that doesn't make use of
varargs will get my stamp of approval. Aside from the problem I've
mentioned with variadic functions in my binding, I think the current API
is trying to do too much in a single function call and that using
varargs is as much a symptom as a cause.
