Q: is localAddress.getPort() == 0 indicative that the
DatagramChannel is unbound ?
getLocalAddress() returns a SocketAddress when bound, it returns null
when not bound. I don't think we should get too hung up on corner case
that arises when the local port cannot be restored (by re-binding). The
javadoc sets the expectations that the channel's socket is in an
undefined state when disconnect fails.
+1 : you would be in uncharted territory and that's exactly why
we want to throw an exception when rebind fails and why we recommend
closing the channel when that happens.
