   I will admit that adding this function to the library API was a bad idea, but that's a decision we are stuck with through the decades since we don't break the ABI

     @bagder I almost asked if you had written about ABI stability ... before realizing I mistyped my google query and then I discovered you wrote a *length* about it. For anyone coming who is similarly curious, this is the blog entry @bagder wrote last week about ABI breakages, which I missed:

     Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.

     I now get to argue with a user who insists he found a security problem in curl because

     curl_mfprintf(stdout, "%x %x %x %x");

     reads bad memory.

     Never a dull moment.
