Speaking of connections and gtools, I've been wondering if the
gtools setTCPNoDelay function's method of getting the Unix file
descriptor of a socket connection is safe. It's basically doing
this:
d <- as.integer(socketConnection("localhost", 80)[1])
Is that depending on an implementation detail that may change?
I think it's useful to allow C extensions to set OS specific
socket options on connection objects. But perhaps Jeffrey
Horner's proposal addresses this need.
