Possibility of implementing this as a facade #5

@ryankurte

Description

@ryankurte

hey, would you be interested in feature-gating this to act as a facade so std would expose the standard library types and not(std) would expose the local crate types? this would make it easier to write libraries that are agnostic over std/no_std, but still work with third party networking components in the std case.

this would be useful prior to rust-lang/rfcs#2832 landing and being implemented, and for types not included in this RFC (SocketAddr etc.)

nominally it would be good to test to ensure each variant provides the same interfaces as part of this (and any variation in interfaces would ideally be resolved, which may be a braking change), but practically introducing the feature-gate without anything else would still help a bunch.

Sorry for the delay on this, somehow the notification email got lost in the churn. I'll give it it the requisite thought tonight and let you know, but from what you've said so far it seems utterly reasonable.

Yeah, I'm on board. Did you want to make the change or shall I?

it's not high up on my list at the moment but, would be super handy. happy to review a PR if it's useful for you / you get there before i do!

What is left of this after #13? (It mentioned it was only partial).

Or is this intended to stay open until the whole crate is a facade (after rust-lang/rust#104265, provided RFC2832 passes)?
