I hate to be negative, and I don't want to start a pointless argument. I
think I've already said that I admire this software very much.
So, please forgive me for saying it, and accept my apologies if I'm being

In the PR, curl_multi_poll isn't polling or selecting. It just moves the
sleep from user code into the library, where the user has no control over
it.
Did I miss something?
