Well It doesn't provide the same syntax here where yo can have `
hackney:get(..)` or `hackney:post(...)`


The main reason I'm doing a parse transform is to not have to worry
about adding a method or handling different cases, for example:

    hackney:get(URL)

but also:

    hackney:get(URL, Headers)

or:

    hackney:get(Url, Headers, Options)


and do that for each method. Most of pseudo rest client don't handle
all methods. But I can indeed write them manually, not a big deal.
Will do that on next release. In the mean time if there is a way to
automatized that, that would be good.
