On the most recent versions of Windows 10, we have AF_Unix for Windows implemented as a driver. Using it should help with POSIX compliance and behaviors. Where it's not available, the current implementation is run instead.

Research direction

Start by locating the Windows socket implementation and build-version checks; done means AF_Unix is used where available and the existing implementation remains active elsewhere.
