I agree, it is marginally useful... Is that margin worth it? In my case i needed this to troubleshoot quickly an RSS feed on such a domain. It would be nice to have a curl and curl-idn package without me having to hand roll one. But then where is the limit for a "swiss army knife" tool? Some linux distro packages come with everything curl can support compiled in down to gopher... -f --
