Combine more operation within one system call: to do it, or not to do it?

    Dear folks,

    It seems that Microsoft has recently revised several of their APIs. One
    example is their ConnectEx(), as found in documentation [1]. The
    implementation is not so complex that it just combines more operation
    within one system call, however, this can reduce some unnecessary
    context switches as it's now possible to do more things within one
    system call. (For instance, when you connect to a server, you usually
    want to send some data as request).

    Shall we do something similar? Or do we already done something similar?
