Will (and should) there be sockets in C++11?

Question

Is the new C++11 going to contain any socket library? So that one could do something std::socket-ish?

Answer 1

There will not be in C++0x. There are proposals to add them in a future version.

The amount of new stuff in C++0x had to be limited to give the committee time to deal with it all thoroughly.
