Hm, in this case I'd not make this a two level object, but make that an explicit value in the options, like requestTimeout in the options, and then unpacking that value when giving request the options it needs.

Using request.defaults(options.requestOptions) means that rather than offering a way to do timeouts, we're offering a way to do everything that request.defaults lets you overwrite, in which case we should tell people where the documentation for that is, instead of claiming that there's only one value supported.

Either way, the PR will probably need a bit of a rewrite to either offer a dedicated value for just this specific use, or to handle the request options object as literally that; an object to pass into request.defaults

If another day someone wants to add another option to the request.defaults, like gzip: true, then (s)he would have to write add that explicitly to this library. So I think letting the user pass the defaults to the request.defaults as is will be better.

agreed - if you can update the link to the request.default docs specifically I think we can just merge this in.
