[IronPython] socket for IronPython update

[J. Merrill]

I recall the discussions (thanks for the links, which jogged the memory).  But how is a socket (or any other) module part of "the IronPython core"?  I would have thought that the core would be the execution engine, parser, code generator, etc -- not an arbitrary module that in many cases could be written in Python.
