Someone invoked #curl on Windows powershell, saw a problem and reported it to us.

Yes. It was the dreaded alias. Again. Not a problem in "the real curl". I tried to get rid of this sorry thing, remember?

@bagder
What kind of idiot would alias to a command that doesn't support the same argument syntax as the alias name??

Oh dang, i now see this is Microsoft we're dealing with.. Okay in their defence they're REALLY bad at computer, nobody in the company ever took a comp sci course, so it isn't their fault.

And their users are equally dumb if using windows for big boy / big girl tasks. It's fine to ignore them when their curl alias "got broke", nothing can save them. Let them have the alias.
