   AFAIU the feature is implemented at the kernel level and doesn't
require any change at the user level, only a socket option. If the
server doesn't implement the feature the kernel on the client side
transparently (to the client) reverts to normal 3-way TCP handshaking.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
