Could net-http-persistent be used with Faraday so that consecutive API calls
(e.g. for paginating through a long list, where only 200 entries are
returned
per API call) could be more efficient? Would this be a useful use case for
net-http-persistent?

Searching for 'net-http-persistent' on the Faraday project

  https://github.com/technoweenie/faraday/

did not reveal any existing references. And searching for Faraday on
the net-http-persistent project did not reveal relevant results.

Thanks,

Peter
