+*** Download Files via URL
+Might be nice to have a =url-download= function that just grabs a file from a website without fuss (or other dependencies). Easy enough to prototype, but dealing with errors are another thing …

+This function can be called interactively with a URL and a directory (and it attempts to create the name of the destination file based on the latter-part of the URL), or called programmatically, like:
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
+  (url-download "https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/bookmark+.el"
+                "~/Downloads/bookmark-plus.el")

 ** Completing Read User Interface
 After using Ivy, I am going the route of a =completing-read= interface that extends the original Emacs API, as opposed to implementing backend-engines or complete replacements.
