We have something similar in libcurl too, as it allows for applications to set
socket options or whatever that is specific to the surroundings or
requirements of the app.
However, I think the simple use shown in the above mentioned diff is a bit too
simple:
* I would like to have the callback able to fail the operation by returning
an error code
* I would like the callback to work on both UDP and TCP sockets
* I would like the callback to get some private context pointer passed in
from the app as callbacks without any such so often will have to rely on
global variables etc soon when they need app-specific data to work with.
None of these changes would remove any features from resiprocate, but it would
cause a slightly different API.
