One other thing I forgot is that, since we need to pass flags to getaddrinfo as well as the TCP/IP stack, there is a need to fit all the flags (whether there are only prefer or prefer+require flags) into the flag name space for getaddrinfo.
This has some implication on the number of flags one can invent.
