+    \idea We should optimize the protocol handling. Allocating a
+       protocol instance for every socket body seems quite
+       wasteful. However I have no idea, how to access the socket
+       handle from within the protocol interface if the protocol
+       class is a singleton. Maybe, we'll have some other idea to
+       reduce the number of heap allocations (like deriving the
+       SocketProtocol class (private? protected?) from the
+       SocketBody. (private inheritance is a form of 'has-a' instead
+       of 'is-a' which would fit very well here). This would allow to
+       reduce the number of heap-allocations per socket to one which
+       is good.
