Thanks for your feedback, but...

First, libcurl is not multithreaded at all.

Then, I don't see why libcurl would bother with what you're asking for. You 
can easily write a glue layer on top that does any number of requests in any 
chosen fancy way and offer that to applications. I see no reason at all to add 
such features to libcurl.
