 * @e Shared @e objects: Unsafe.
 *
 * Synchronous @c send, @c receive, @c connect, and @c shutdown operations are
 * thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system
 * calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform
 * concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object.
