Specifically on this point, the two-arg variants of `joinGroup` and
`leaveGroup` throw an UnsupportedOperationException if invoked on a
MulticastSocket that has a DatagramSocketImpl which was compiled against
a pre-1.4 version of the DSI interface. ( these abstract methods were
only added to the DSI interface in Java 1.4 )
Also note, that the single-arg variants of these methods have been
deprecated ( by 8233319 [1] ), so there is no real "blessed" workaround
to avoid the two-arg `joinGroup` and `leaveGroup`, if one is writing
new, or migrating existing, code to use MS.
