sendall keeps trying to send stuff until finished or there's an error,
so surely there's no point in wrapping *that* in yet an other send loop?

But the amount of data which was successfully sent can be useful for
reporting, logging, or to check whether complete segments were sent
(if the protocol provides such a thing).
