My biggest worry is folks complaining about incompatibility with earlier SOCKS 
versions like SOCKK4 but I only see a passing reference to that on 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS#SOCKS5 without a precise reference to or in 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1928

"The SOCKS5 protocol is defined in RFC 1928. It is an incompatible extension of 
the SOCKS4 protocol..."

That is a pain indeed.
