Thanks for your thoughts!

Absolutely, but my points were more that that feature is not used by curl
itself and is not documented to work in the API plus the fact that the
curl_m*printf() functions should not be used by applications!

But sure, others have expressed similar concern about breaking existing
functionality. I *think* this might instead push me towards starting to think
about a (soname) bump to libcurl version 8, where we can remove some old
legacy.

What legacy would YOU like to see ripped out? =)
