-  * status: **PULL REQUEST FILED** 
-  * reason: libc should not need to test or track socket types, it violates the light-libc minix philosophy 
-  * reason: the individual writes to implement sendto (etc) probably violate posix signal atomicity 
-  * benefit: this allows for proper socket call support in trace(1) 
-  * complication:​ this will break everything, require INET's retirement and a substantial UDS rewrite 
-  * note: this is probably best done along with many other network stack related changes
