This would be really useful for some of the more complicated options that interact with callbacks or other options in order to work properly. But does it really add anything to have a standalone example for, e.g. CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV? It's just a boolean that's either set or it isn't, and a standalone example program doesn't show what effect it has or how it helps. Every option's man page already has an "Example" section showing how to use each option properly that can easily be cut and pasted into a program . I think a bigger concern is that having all kinds of simple example programs cluttering up docs/examples/ will make it harder to find the truly useful ones.
