I think it is worth dropping strict correspondence to the POSIX names and
just providing a consistent naming convention that maps the shared
structure to more reasonable names in Scheme. If someone wants to know how
to get the equivalent constant, then they can look it up in a table.

So, SOCK_STREAM → socket-domain/stream, for example.
