Comment (by guest):
Peter Simons suggests that in fact Network.Socket would be a better home
for all of the new functionality, instead of Network.BSD, as the IPv6
entry points and constants do not have a BSD heritage (they're defined in
RFC 2553, and available on all modern operating systems under the same
names). I agree. Furthermore, adding this functionality to
Network.Socket will mean that new code will never need to import
Network.BSD.
As a consequence of Peter and Sven's comments, I'm going to redo the
patch, and tender it for consideration again in a day or two, then extend
the discussion period for another week.
