curl the next few years - perhaps

QUIC
----
-The standardization process of QUIC has been taken to the IETF and can be
-followed on the [IETF QUIC Mailing
-list](https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/quic). I'd like us to get on the
-bandwagon. Ideally, this would be done with a separate library/project to
-handle the binary/framing layer in a similar fashion to how HTTP/2 is
-implemented. This, to allow other projects to benefit from the work and to
-thus broaden the interest and chance of others to participate.
+ See the [QUIC wiki page](https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/QUIC).

-curl_formadd()
---------------

-Make sure there's an easy handle passed in to `curl_formadd()`,
-`curl_formget()` and `curl_formfree()` by adding replacement functions and
-deprecating the old ones to allow custom mallocs and more.

-Or perhaps even better: revamp the formpost API completely while we're at it
-and making something that is easier to use and understand:

-Simplify the SMTP email
------------------------
-
-Simplify the SMTP email interface so that programmers don't have to
-construct the body of an email that contains all the headers, alternative
-content, images and attachments - maintain raw interface so that
-programmers that want to do this can.
-
-Email capabilities
-------------------
-
-Allow the email protocols to return the capabilities before
-authenticating. This will allow an application to decide on the best
-authentication mechanism.

-Allow Windows threading model to be replaced by Win32 pthreads port.

-Dynamic buffer size
--------------------
-
-Implement a dynamic buffer size to allow SFTP to use much larger buffers and
-possibly allow the size to be customizable by applications. Use less memory
-when handles are not in use?
-
-New stuff - curl
-----------------
-
-1. Embed a language interpreter (lua?). For that middle ground where curl
- isn’t enough and a libcurl binding feels “too much”. Build-time conditional
- of course.
-
-2. Simplify the SMTP command line so that the headers and multi-part content
- don't have to be constructed before calling curl.
