Regarding the passing of the socket into clientconnected - I've wished for

possible to get at this (either via some available API which I just haven't
noticed, or if these patches provide it at clientconnected time).
Indeed - I am toying with using POE for a rewrite of a fairly
sophisticated network proxy application over a very low bandwidth
connection and one of my initial questions would have been how to get
hold of the socket in order to set a bunch of badly documented OS
specific options on it (buffer sizes, etc)
Getting hold of the socket object at listen and connect time is very
valuable
You have access to the ReadWrite wheel in $_[HEAP]{client}, so you
have access to the socket via $_[HEAP]{client}->get_input_handle
Since this is all theoretical to me at this stage, then this sounds just
fine to me!
