Hi,
So after the last review of the etc.curl there were some requests for
making it simpler.
<snip>
BTW, why is this "etc.culr" and not "std.curl".
I think Andrei mentioned that he wanted it to go to std.curl. Another
option would be std.net.curl.
Anyone have an opinion about this?

I think putting the high level API (which I really like the clean and
simple design of, by the way) under something like std.net and the low
level curl specific API in etc.curl might be nice. I know what curl is
but
looking for std.curl to download a file isn't obvious for anyone who
isn't
aware of curl. This also leaves the option of keeping the high level API
and swapping out the curl backend with something else if that was ever
needed or wanted. That's not very likely to happen anytime soon but I
think a good guideline might be to keep the phobos API focused on what,
specifically, you want to do rather than what is doing what you want to
do.
Ok, let's do an experiment. I don't think I've seen community polls yet,
so I created one on a random online poll site:
http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=4ebd3219011eb0e4518d35ab
When everyone has cast their vote, there should be no useless discussion
about the decision afterwards. :) ... I hope.
(I wont vote myself this time, so it doesn't look like I created a poll
tailored to my opinion.)
