+ \idea Creating a new Socket will create 4 (!) new instances (The
+ handle, the body, the policy and the protocol) of which 3
+ (argh) (body, policy and protocol) live on the heap. This is
+ expensive. We should convert all the policy classes to
+ singletons and assign the same instance to all socket bodies
+ with the same policy. This would reduce the number of heap
+ allocations per socket handle to two.
