As an example of the last point, perhaps rather than modifying all the *clients* of the socket module, it may make more sense to have tools in the socket module itself to temporarily customise the socket creation process in the current thread. The advantage of such an approach is that it would then work for 3rd party libraries that create sockets, without requiring any further modification.
Would be easier to implement that way, not requiring changes to every client of the socket library, but in some circles that would be called "action at a distance", and harder to understand.
