: johnny suggested added a local_port member to the SilcSocket struct,
: however this would require rewriting large parts to keep the whole thing
: consistent (the listening sockets are using the port member which is
: here refering to a local port for example). Furthermore, the fd contains
: more data than only the local port, which might be needed to check
: incoming connections in future extensions (i.e. to restrict certain
: connections to certain interfaces).

I don't mean that.  I mean that the fd argument to the function is equal
of having a
"here_is_variable_that_i_pass_since_i_may_need_it_later_in_the_callback_even_though_it_has_no_meaning_to_the_procedure_in_hand"
argument in the function.  You have the "context" for that. :)
