I like this idea! Let me also mention that we have a similar idea listed in 
the TODO:

   https://curl.se/docs/todo.html#hostname-sections-in-config-files

It would get roughly the same thing with a syntax like this:

[domain]
   header @path/special.txt

I think both takes could be worth exploring. They have roughly the same 
challenge: they make it necessary to parse the config file (again?) after each 
URL has been retrieved, so that it knows the domain.
