    net: add DialOpt, the extensible Dial w/ options dialer · 752fec22
    Brad Fitzpatrick authored
    Add DialOpt. So we have:
    
    func Dial(net, addr string) (Conn, error)
    func DialTimeout(net, addr string, timeout time.Duration) (Conn, error)
    func DialOpt(addr string, opts ...DialOption) (Conn, error)
    
    DialTimeout (and Dial) are regrettable in retrospect. Maybe
    in a future Go we'll be back down to one Dial, with DialOpt
    becoming Dial.
    
    DialOpt looks like:
    
    c, err := net.DialOpt("google.com:80")  // tcp is default
    c, err := net.DialOpt("google.com:80", net.Timeout(30 * time.Second))
    c, err := net.DialOpt("google.com:80", net.TCPFastOpen())
    c, err := net.DialOpt("google.com:80", net.LocalAddr(..))
    c, err := net.DialOpt("google.com:53", net.Network("udp6"))
    
    And then: (clustered in godoc)
    
    type DialOption interface { /* private only */ }
      func Deadline(time.Time) DialOption
      func LocalAddr(Addr) DialOption
      func Network(string) DialOption
      func TCPFastOpen() DialOption
      func Timeout(time.Duration) DialOption
    
    I'm pretty confident we could add Happy Eyeballs to this too.
