Summary: --fail removes response from --trace data

Initial Comment:
When using --fail, the --trace file also omits the server response.

I expected the-trace0 and the-trace1 to compare equal:
curl --trace the-trace0 http://curl.haxx.se/nosuch
curl --trace the-trace1 --fail http://curl.haxx.se/nosuch
diff -u the-trace0 the-trace1

I see this behavior with 7.19.6, 7.18.0 and 7.12.1.

Message:
The purpose of --fail is to prevent stuff to get written/sent anywhere when
the request didn't succeed. I don't see the benefit of making a lot of
effort to make sure --trace works identically with --fail as without it.
Why is this important to you?
