Thanks for providing this, e-t172, but we try to keep the APIs generic across all supported platforms. There are some O/S specific modules, but they're maintained outside of the generic API set (in tango.sys.*)

For that reason, we're a bit uncomfortable adding Unix-specific functionality to a generic module such as Socket.

The intent, and effort, is much appreciated though

Since a request for such functionality came up again, I am wondering if it is possible to support this in a pluginish manner (the *nix address part could potentially live somewhere in tango.sys ).

Just a suggestion: Why not have something like tango.sys.unix.socketaddress and have tango.net.Socket include this: version(Posix) public import tango.sys.unix.socketaddress;

So the API is available under UNIX, but clearly not available anywhere else. Given that Linux/Unix server applications seem to be moving more and more toward this type of socket, it seems like valuable functionality to include.
