FYI (The curlx functions are functions that are not part of the libcurl API but is still shared as code from the lib with the tool and tests.) At curl up 2025 we discussed "curlx as a library" and we came down with the conclusion that we should simply move all the curlx_ functions into a subdir and use the prefix consistently for those functions both in tool and library code and get rid of the defined name setup we used before (intermittently). The net effect is that a few library source code files move into lib/curlx/, and that we change the prefix for a bunch of libcurl functions from Curl_ to curlx_. This is exactly what I'm doing in my monster PR 17253 [*]. Due to the nature of this change, it might of course cause some extra merge work for other outstanding PRs, but I do think the cleanup and clarity this brings is a good one.
