I don't think this would be TRT, because that variable affects all the
communications with all the subprocesses running at that time.

To do something less blunt, we need a per-process attribute.  But that
is only justified if indeed the effect in most scenarios related to
url.el is profoundly positive.  Just seeing the improvement in one
synthetic test case is not enough for drawing project-wide conclusions
about the default behavior, IMO.
