     Right, but there are other occurrences of ???car??? for ???getaddrinfo???.  :-)

But that occurance applies to a real list, rather than a list used as record.
In other words, I really do just want to get the first item of that list.
As I understand it, match is supposed to be used for heterogenous lists where
each member has its own semantics.  That is not the case here.

Obviously, I could write (match ... (x . _) x) but I don't see what benefit that
brings.
