    No, *had*, not *has*.  It isn't broken, just inefficient in certain
    cases due to the brute-force GC.

:operation.

:It would definetly simplify and probably speed up the code.

    There's no reason to disallow that.  Besides, any socket
    can be listen()'d after having been queued, so you aren't really
    preventing anything.
