emacs calls getaddrinfo_a already if itʼs available, when creating
connections, but I donʼt think thereʼs a lisp-level interface to it
(and itʼs not available on macOS, weʼd have to implement it using
Apple's platform-specific API).
If you were thinking of using the emacs threading API, I tried hooking
that up to dns.el, but the results were not great. [1]

Footnotes:
[1] Iʼm saying this so that Lars will now go away and implement it :-)
