I appreciate the suggestion Assaf.  It would indeed be useful for
Tor users of commandline and text-based browsers to have this option.

Additionally, git users can do the following over Tor, and (AFAIK)
simultanously escape CloudFlare and all the compromises CloudFlare
entails:

  $ torsocks git clone git://git.gnuradio.org/gnuradio

Unfortunately, all the security and freedom problems still remain, as
there is documentation that is excluded from the tarball and the git
clone operation.  That documentation is held-hostage in CloudFlare's
walled-garden until the ransom is paid (the price of which is security
and freedom).
