By the way, most apps will want to use ConnectionQueue on servers.  I
guess Socket should have a comment to this effect.  ConnectionQueue will
fall back on older listening mechanisms if they are available. 
ConnectionQueue would also be a nice place to put a replacement socket
implementation like the one on swiki.net, should you want to do so.
