Proposal:

# Currently:

# Proposed:
sock.setsockopt(socket.IPPROTO_IPV6, socket.IPV6_HDRINCL, 1)

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

I have already discussed this feature proposal on Discourse

Can we close this issue or do you want to add more constants?

Closing, but if anyone sees this issue and has a use-case for more constants, we can easily add more.
