Hi Mark,

When I said bull-headed, this is exactly what I had in mind. Happy
eyeballs and things like
https://bill.herrin.us/freebies/libeasyv6-0.1/ aren't first-class
citizens in the APIs. Their code has to be independently added to each
application individually. Getaddrinfo() is core standard. Fix the
problem in the place that fixes it in every place or else it's never
really fixed.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
