Special casing each address format isn’t viable because some addresses are of variable length (I’m looking at you `sockaddr_un`!). You’re going to have to carry around a `sockaddr_storage` /and/ a `socklen_t`, and if you’re doing that it’d probably be best to build your own abstraction. When I originally wrote these helpers I was doing so in the context of a `QSocket` class, which had a `QSocket.Address` struct that wrapped `sockaddr_storage`, and that abstraction would have been able to cope with this.
