Wcurl: a curl wrapper to download files
I just don't get this, you can't remember two arguments so you invent a whole program.
Personally I never had any problems using curl to download files, nor remembering tar arguments.

I think that’s pretty ungenerous a take. Wrappers have a proven history of being really valuable contributions to tools (look at GCC and clang), I think making tools easier to use in a great goal.

but you will reach a point where remembering all tiny "tools" like this becomes more work than learning parameters of the actual tool
