TODO: remove 4 entries, add one new 

Zero-copy and "Avoid having to remove/readd handles" are not really
features we think are worthwhile to add. Removed.

SRP features have been added already, removed.

 Introduce another callback interface for upload/download that makes one less

11.9 IPv6 addresses with globbing



  Currently the command line client needs to get url globbing disabled (with

  -g) for it to support IPv6 numerical addresses. This is a rather silly flaw

  that should be corrected. It probably involves a smarter detection of the

  '[' and ']' letters.
