This raises a question: does plz.el potentially subsume url.el request.el? Would it make sense to replace those with interfaces to plz.el? Perhaps not now, but in a few months once plz.el is perfected? I don't know the answer, but it would be advantageous to have only one such package to recommend and document. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
