You're right.

And the problem is that Address is an *abstract* class, defined as:

abstract class Address
{
     protected sockaddr* name();
     protected int nameLen();
     AddressFamily addressFamily();
     override string toString();
}

This means that anyone deriving from it needs to implement those functions.
