I want to test the dev community interest in modifying the stdlib to
ease dependence injection.
I, for one, am -1. Code shouldn't be uglified for the purposes of
testing.
Well, the philosophy of dependency injection requires exactly that.
Personally I am on the fence; I've seen is used effectively but I've
also seen code, indeed, uglified with little benefits. (Same for other
extreme testing practices like TDD.)
I agree with the comments about uglification, but testing was only one
of the use cases that Jesus provided. He also mentioned using
alternative network implementations, integrating with event loops, etc.
Another use case that I've run into before is setting socket options.
And some of the use cases for this seemed pretty good from the email
thread he linked to.
