+// We don't include `winsock2.h` because it drags in `windows.h` and friends,

+//
+// Instead we only forward declare `timeval` and require Windows users include
+// `winsock2.h` themselves. This is both inconsistent and troublesome, but so is
+// including 'windows.h' so we are picking the lesser of two evils here.
