Description
Any interest to have this feature implemented? It would allow zero-copy sends, but would also
require some careful anchoring to prevent gc, but should be doable I think?
Also the combination of buffers in a table sock:send{buf1, buf2, ...} would be awesome

Research direction
Start at the sock:send() entry point and trace how send arguments are handled, including the proposed table form. Review the buffer lifetime and garbage-collection considerations before defining the scope. Done means supporting zero-copy string buffers safely and accepting combinations such as sock:send{buf1, buf2, ...}.
