This next iteration addresses all of Alan's comments and suggestions.

Additionally, while here we can take the opportunity to cleanup the spec
inconsistencies of the getOption/setOption methods across the socket
impls. The current default implementation is also problematic,
undocumented and unspecified. It is highly questionable for code to
depend on it. The default implementation can be simplified, specified,
and a note advising subclasses to override added. ( The CSR contains
specifics, that I won't duplicate here )
