You could add CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_LARGE as soon as possible.

Then we could ignore for now, but later when new protocols get added, we can switch to the new property.

-> have the new property out a year before you need it, so all the distributions have time to update, before apps will use it.

It wouldn't help much. The existing CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS option will still need to remain funtional exactly like it works today, and only applications that actually wants to set a protocol bit that larger than the first 32 bits will need to use the new option.

Since those applications will need to change their source code anyway for the new protocol support that don't exist yet, they can just as well change to using the new option then!
