libcurl read-llike interface.

Hello,

I saw on the 2020 poll an item about adding to libcurl a "read-like
interface" (instead of callbacks).

I didn't find any detail on that feature.

Would you have a link or some reading that could help me understand what
the benefits would be?

From the most obvious to the more beneficial, I could think of:

-1) An "easier" interface for programmers (compared to having to deal
with "callbacks")

-2) A step towards zero-copy libcurl (a topic much discussed!)

-3) "Streaming" optimisations (that is probably too much!)

Many thanks in advance.
Alain
