To give a v4-specific listener priority over a v6 listener is not up
to the API but the stack's PCB lookup function, yes?  The only reason
I can see for a sockopt is to allow overriding this behavior -- but
the v6 application could do this more simply by binding to the v4
address (be it wildcard or not) in addition to any others.
