       | remarkably hard. Using IPv4-mapped-IPv6 addresses is little
       | known. Most programming languages and frameworks are unaware of
       | AF_UNSPEC. And so on.

       | Not everybody will end up doing the low level socket juggling,
       | but I think it's at least good to know the capabilities of the
       | operating system.
