+ Log: IO::* enhancements.
+
+ 1) write() and syswrite() will now accept a single-argument
+ form of the call, for consistency with Perl's syswrite().
+ 2) You can create a TCP-based IO::Socket::INET without forcing
+ a connect attempt. This allows you to configure its options
+ (like making it non-blocking) and then call connect() manually.
+ 3) Fixed a bug that prevented the IO::Socket::protocol() accessor
+ from ever returning the correct value.
