Or rather that any application making use of the setsockopt_defaults()
facility know about all library routines it uses which could create a
socket and then reset the defaults back to "normal" for the duration of
the library call.....  :-)

(assuming the new defaults would be unworkable for the library call)

Not ideal if those calls are interleaved with socket() or accept() calls
mind you, but perhaps pairs of setsockopt_defaults() would be faster
than many setsockopt() calls and so would still be a win....
