Sorry for coming up with this earlier, but I must have missed the pull request: Frankly, I do not think this is a very wise addition to Phobos in the current form. Yes, `std.socket` could generally be in a better state, but the new method is neither tested nor documented, and doesn't match the Phobos naming convention. What is the intention of the addition? Allowing to reuse the Socket object to reduce GC pressure I suppose?
