backlog parameter

        // FIXME the standard library uses 128 here without an option to change this
        // number, why? If std has solid reasons to do this, remove this notice and
        // document the method's behavior on this matter explicitly; otherwise, add
        // an option to change this value.
        c_wrappers::listen(&fd, 128)?;

The size of the accept queue is equal to min(SOMAXCONN, backlog), by default SOMAXCONN=128.

SOMAXCONN: socket max connections, man page.

Interesting find, but it makes it even more confusing how the standard library just puts a fixed value of 128 there. In this case, I'd like to introduce an optional parameter to specify the value for exotic use cases where SOMAXCONN is raised via /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn and the server program depends on the increased backlog.
