[Python-Dev] More on server-side SSL support

["Martin v. Löwis"]

> We add to the socket module a subtype of socket.socket,

> 	     cert_filename=None, key_filename=None,

That's somewhat limiting - you should be able to do connection
upgrades (e.g. SMTP STARTTLS, or HTTP Connection: Upgrade); with
that design, such usages would not be possible, no?
