// SO_RESUSEADDR is not enabled on Windows because the semantics of
// SO_REUSEADDR on UNIX and Windows is different. On Windows,
// SO_REUSEADDR allows to bind a socket to a port without error even if
// the port is already open by another program. This is not the behavior
// SO_REUSEADDR was designed for, and leads to hard-to-track failure
// scenarios. Therefore, SO_REUSEADDR was disabled on Windows.
