Little bit of nitpicking and curiosity, but I am looking at using raw sockets and notice the `aSocket` builder. This seems such a strange name. So in conflict with any other API naming conventions I've seen of Kotlin team libraries. I'd expected something like `buildSocket / createSocket` . Or am I missing something that `aSocket` is trying to communicate besides... `a Socket` ?

I think this name communicates no further information and the reason for such naming has been lost in history.
