to make things straight:

I used `addrtype' since day 1, because that's the name of a slot in
hostent (see /usr/include/netdb.h).

Martin and Bernard wanted to change that to a more lispy `addr-type',
and their patches were rejected.

If people do think that `addr-type' is somehow better, they should speak
up now.

Micros**t is not the answer.  Micros**t is a question, and the answer is Linux,
(http://www.linux.org) the choice of the GNU (http://www.gnu.org) generation.
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
