It is probably just the historical evolution, but I find it 
pretty handy: I did a subclass of Socket to do SSL, then as is 
nice with classes, I can pass that to other code using the Socket 
interface and have it work.

So I'd be sad if they changed it now too much, the class is 
legitimately useful here and actually not very expensive`.
