But if it is just a lack of developers on a particular platform that is preventing the feature from being implemented, then it is much easier for later developers who wish to implement it if there is a feature specific constant. NO_SOCKETS_IN_FILE_SYSTEM is sitting on a blurry line, since although Windows does not support unix domain sockets, it is conceivable that an emulation of them using named pipes could be developed in future.
