+1... while I'd also like an OO API, it will be a much bigger project, =
and would need a fair amount of thought/discussion.

As to the URL API, it solves the problem of developers making their own =
URL parsers that often work differently to the cURL parser (those =
differences can cause security issues); and considering it's possible =
for cURL 7.62.0 (Oct 2018) to do that parsing, and it's a fairly simple =
API, that would work in a similar way to the existing cURL functionality =
in PHP, it would be good for PHP developers to use that in PHP 8.2.
