If you want to do that you would have to have support for resuming a read
anyway, so what would be the advantage of using url_read_complete?
And please if you have suggestions for improving the documentation say so.

Making it not use it everywhere I think would make things really ugly.

Though it might be enough to just replace it at some strategic points...
