      Please support TCP out of band / urgent data.
      Without this protocols like rlogin and
      telnet cannot be implemented in java.

      Now that I think about it it's not obvious
      how to expose it w/o breaking code.

      Well here's one suggestion:

      Socket.getInputStream() will return SocketInputStream()
      SocketInputStream.read() throws IOException and OutOfBandException
      er....well maybe out of band data isn't an exception?
      Well I guess I should probably stop thinking out loud...
