One probably does not want the data for a local socket connection to go
onto the network and back in the same host, so in any case one wants to
short-circuit local socket connections. Is this a complaint that the
Macintosh AppleTalk driver does not provide a convenience feature?
The usual response to such a restriction is to erect a superstructure to
short-circuit local data and pass the non-local data to the real driver...
