Comment (by kolmodin):

 See attachment:aus_simple.dpatch for a patch without cleanups that adds
 support for AUS.

 You can poke a socket address with {{{pokeSockAddr}}}, but not get the
 same back with {{{peekSockAddr}}}. I don't know if we really need that
 property, or what would be recommended.

 From testing I think python handles it the same way, you get an empty
 address path.
 Can't recall if the first patch handles it differently.
