All I'm saying is that you really need to investigate into the things you are suggesting. Please do the investigation, even if cursory before you jump in.

I am guilty of the same, but in my case, I have an installation I can actually check. You can read the source code if you don't have a mac to work with, but the important thing is this already exists

from the brew man page:

brew(1)

fetch [--force] [-v] [--devel|--HEAD] [--deps] [--build-from-source|--force-bottle] formulae

Download the source packages for the given formulae. For tarballs, also print SHA-1 and SHA-256 checksums.
