I was thinking of a new API for injecting packets, which would directly return
a PCAP_ERROR_ value. A pcap_last_error() routine would also handle that case,
but if a new routine would return a success vs. failure value, it might as well
return an error code, so pcap_last_error() would be useful only for existing
routines.
