For instance, curl application may implement the "IPv6 works" callback based on some atomic variable, which is a magnitude faster than the socket system call done in the Curl_ipv6works().
An application that can "just use an atomic variable" can also "just set an easy option" and get the exact same effect, right?
This suggestion reads to me like a work-around for you not wanting to change code in the place that would afix the problem, but you rather propose and add a new public libcurl function call so that you can do the change elsewhere in your app. Generally, having two ways to do the same thing is bad.
