Rust has a nice way to download at

The method is simple and transparent. An optional --channel=beta or
--channel=nightly parameter chooses between a stable release (default),
beta, or nightly build.
Should we do something similar?
A bit long but this will install DVM [1] and the latest compiler:
curl -L -o dvm
https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases/download/v0.4.4/dvm-0.4.4-osx
&& chmod +x dvm && ./dvm install dvm && source ~/.dvm/scripts/dvm && dvm
install -l
And on Windows (with Power Shell) :
powershell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest
https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases/download/v0.4.4/dvm-0.4.4-win.exe
-OutFile dvm.exe" && dvm install dvm && dvm install -l
Links to other platforms are available here [1].

I've been using dvm, and do like it a lot. But I couple issues:
1. Every time I type dvm use, my path adds another directory. Couldn't
you just replace the existing dvm path?
2. Every incorrect command given to dvm results in a stack trace.
Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoy being able to switch/install compiler
versions on a whim.
