This makes me wonder if we're not mostly having a wording issue and I'm not
sure I agree with your suggested updates.

Let's take the CURLOPT_FTPAPPEND option as an example:

The option was called CURLOPT_FTPAPPEND up to *and including* 7.16.4 from
what I can tell.

In 7.17.0, this option had been renamed to CURLOPT_APPEND. I thus think the
former wording is correct. In 7.16.4 it was CURLOPT_FTPAPPEND. Since 7.17.0 we
call it CURLOPT_APPEND.

Is this wrong?
