Description
Should the inverse of resolve_addresses be part of this proposal? Eg resolve_name based on getnameinfo.
Although they would be each other's mirror image, their use cases are very different. resolve_addresses is used by almost every application that is connected to the internet, while its inverse resolve_name is relatively niche.
- Pro: symmetry
- Con: Not part of the MVP spirit. Can be added later.
