I had actually considered this when you first mentioned that you did not like choosable persistent IDs, but I think we'd need to consider how this would interact with CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS. A single shared handle would mean a user couldn't create separate connection pools, and so it may cause churn if the pool size wasn't large enough. I don't think that's an insurmountable problem, however. I will raise that as a part of a v2 discussion attempt if this fails to pass.
