Think of it as a functionality present in many applications: "copy as curl" and also
a great orthogonal feature to the "--libcurl" option.
In software I maintain, we use libcurl for nearly all network communication and nearly every
aspect of that is controlled by the user of the software. It's quite complicated. Now, if there's
a problem curl is the number 1 test tool - if curl can speak to the server, the error is on our side
(either in code or in front of the monitor) otherwise it's the server (it's never a curl bug ;) ).
Right now we are struggling each time to construct a test command from the final set of options.
Having libcurl generate it, would save a ton of time each time I have to debug stupid mistakes...
