        //
        //   "The loopback address is not considered for this case as valid
        //   as a configured address."
        //
        // Some platforms implement this version rather than POSIX (notably
        // glibc on Linux).  Others implement POSIX (from looking at the
        // man pages, these include FreeBSD 11.0).
        //
        // In most cases, this extra sentence is arguably helpful - e.g. it
        // means that you won't get IPv6 addresses just because the system
        // has IPv6 loopback (and similarly for IPv4).
        //
        // However, it behaves unhelpfully if the *only* interface
        // configured is loopback - in this situation, AI_ADDRCONFIG means
        // that you won't get an IPv4 address (as there's no IPv4 address
        // configured ignoring loopback) and you won't get an IPv6 address
        // (as there's no IPv6 address configured ignoring loopback).
        //
        // It's generally rare that systems with only loopback would want
        // to use the remote backend, but a real example is testsuites
        // (including our own) running on autobuilders which deliberately
        // close off network access.
        //
        // To allow such cases to work on Linux (and other platforms which
        // follow the RFC rather than POSIX in this detail) we avoid using
        // AI_ADDRCONFIG for 127.0.0.1, ::1 and localhost.  There are
        // other ways to write these IP addresses and other hostnames may
        // map onto them, but this just needs to work for the standard
