Yes. I was kind of hoping to go with an adopt-a-feature approach in the
long run.

I'd estimate in a month or two, time permitting.

I'd say connection pooling will come first. Initially cookie support
will be just allowing users to get or set the HTTP headers.

Perhaps, but haven't decided for sure yet. I think it is good to allow
it to mature as an independent project. It helps to have real users
before submitting something for review.

Yes, I would like to write a book. One reason I started Urdl was to get
more experience on using Asio to develop client-side abstractions, so
that I can advise others. Finding time is the issue, as always :)
