Hot take: If we added a "--install" option to #curl, we could optimize many a "| sh -" pipeline away.

Finally a truly universal installer.

The funny thing is... if curl added checksum calculation that was pipe-able like so:

$ curl --check-sha256 abcdef... https://... | sh -

...that may actually be useful in a "check that a checksum has provenance, if yes then " | sh -" a script with that checksum otherwise abort. You can verify Sigstore provenance of a SHA256 checksum, for example, prior to running a script. Maybe it would be useful in other ways, too?
