Fun fact — we almost called it AF_WINDOWS. Then we realized that was silly.

That would've been pretty funny and I would've (gently) argued in favour of adding both names AF_UNIX and AF_WINDOWS with the same value.

Haha that's true. I think we do have the traditional AF_LOCAL alias for those with Unix allergies.

Huh! I'd not heard of the name AF_LOCAL before and had to check `man 2 socket`. In retrospect I think it's a better name than AF_UNIX, but I guess, eh, people don't know it under that name. :)

The “local domain” term has been around for decades, I think, and is perfectly comprehensible to at least one unix bigot (me).
