Comment:

 I've attached two more patches (see `move-the-throwsocketerror_-class-of-
 functions-into-the-internals-module_.dpatch`) that expose the
 `throwSocketErrorIf*` class of functions. The patch is split in two for
 easier reviewing. The first patch simply moves the functions to the
 `Internal` module. The second renames some of them and adds documentation.

 I've tested this on Mac OS X 10.5 and Windows (using MinGW/MSYS).
