The current SockaddrStorage type is not useful because the __data field is not exported due to being named X__ss_padding by default when run through the code generator.

In addition, the data type of this field is a either an array of uint8 or int8 on various platforms, which will make it difficult to use.

I will submit a change to export this field as Data and simplify all of the array types to an array of bytes.
