--- Comment #36 from Michael Hampton <error at ioerror.us> ---
This function really isn't new, it's been in Windows since Vista. It is an IPv6
function, which is why almost nobody has used it until now.

This appears to be Microsoft's dramatically over-engineered attempt to comply
with RFC 3484. This MSDN article (different from the one linked earlier!)
explains how it's intended to be used.

By comparison getaddrinfo() accomplishes the task much more easily and does a
lot more. I think it could be used to implement CreateSortedAddressPairs,
though there is probably a "better" way to do it.
