And the really sad part is that before the standards bodies started
messing around with it, things really _did_ "just work". There was no 
question at all about what kind of type to use.

Btw, here's the result of the "documentation":

[lots of ugly code]

isn't that nice? Before the "documentation", you could just use

	int accept(int, struct sockaddr *, int *);

and it would work. EVERYWHERE. No autoconf crap required.

So don't talk to me about documentation. It's pure and unadulterated crap.

Okay. I have to admit that what you presented is a good argument.

However, the code I usually have to deal with is comparable to what you 
read on www.thedailywtf.com, and even a "socklen_t l;" with that type of 
code is more helpful than a simple "int l;", which might even be reused as 
something completely different.

That said, in a well designed and clean project, such as git, such types 
of documentation should not be necessary.
