Instead of a new layer above url.el, how about a small change _inside_ url.el
to optionally use curl instead?

Adding layers tends to make code bigger and slower, so we shouldn't
make that our go-to approach by default.  Sometimes the new layer
is worth the cost, but we should compare with other approaches.
