This is an interesting thought and I wonder if you might be able to
elaborate some. The userland QUIC libraries I'm familiar with require
applications to do a lot of their own lifting with regards to the network.

I'm particularly interested whether there is any difference say between:

1) An HTTP/3 client application that wants to open two QUIC connections
using a userland QUIC library.

2) An HTTP/3 client application that wants to open one multipath QUIC using
a userland QUIC library.

Is the expectation here that there is some TBD OS-level API would abstract
network layer information from the application in the name of privacy?

Cheers
Lucas
