Maybe just no one ever used it. You need the flush if you want to use
'curl' as a telnet client of any useful nature..otherwise, you don't see the
prompts until after you enter data.
But, I can remove it if you really want it removed.
First, nobody has complained so it isn't likely many people use the default
stdout with telnet for anything useful. Then, I don't like to distribute
(within the code) the knowledge that the default write callback writes to
stdout. The output is never flushed so the telnet one is not special.
*If* we were to flush the output, then I think we should do it by making sure
the internal default write function does it.
But as a final point: the default output function and stdout stream isn't
terribly useful or used so I think we should just let it be as it is. It
simply won't be used by programs.
So yes, I actually want the flush removed.
