Hello,

Someone at DConf left me a pair of handmade socks to pass to a coworker 
whom they didn't get to meet. I forgot who! Please email me with the 
answer. Thanks!

I know. In the meantime I did remembered and handed the socks (they were 
for a baby) to my coworker, who is very grateful! -- Andrei

Missed opportunity to use std.socks.assumeMine and netting

The problem is that assumeMine is not  safe.

The trouble with the socks datatype is the destructor is randomly run on only 
one of each pair.

 randomly run on only one of each pair.

Sock[2] sockPair();
     Creates a pair of connected socks.
     The two socks are indistinguishable.

For Windows users this situation was recently complicated by marking 
winsock.d as nothrow, with the upshot that now you can't throw away the 
remaining sock.
