The getAddrInfo call doesn't return the full struct (only to 0xfff1). Moreover
the first couple of bytes are _not_ part of the IPv6 address and the first
address byte is the 5th byte after 0x50 (0x20, 0x1, ...).
Frankly, I don't think it worth putting more work into the current solution. If
I am confused by lots of things, including that the same constants like
AF_INET6 are present with different values in `lib/nativesockets.nim` vs
`lib/posix/posix_linux_amd64_consts.nim`.
The edited above code now uses posix's AF_INET6 value (10.cint) cast to
nativesockets Domain enum for

Note that `getHostByName` is deprecated at least on linux.
@Libman
Nim (nativesockets) _does_ provide `getAddrInfo` but as you probably saw in
your research it's all but worthless because it's a mess. Which btw. is hardly
Nim's fault but rather a consequence of IPv6 being a makeshift
I'm a n00b, and I've spent some time trying to research this without finding a
good answer. I'm posting my notes in case they are helpful for someone...
In C one would use
[getaddrinfo](https://archive.fo/eFztO#selection-589.810-589.883). This is much
easier in Python, which has a high-level
