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

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

Seeing as how std::thread will be added, it feels as if sockets should be added as well. C-style sockets are a pain... They feel extremely counter-intuitive.

Anyways: Will there be C++ sockets in C++11 (googled it but couldn't find an answer)? If not, are their any plans on adding this? Why (/ why not)?

This is so weird that in 2022, there is still no standard for a basic OS construct as sockets in C++.

The closest I found is kissnet (Apparently exists since 2019).

It's small (~1500 lines), runs on Windows and Linux, uses OpenSSL, and requires C++ 17 (Which is a plus in my book), basically everything I needed.
