It's not, it's the `socket2` library. The standard sockets don't allow (ab)using actual `UdpSocket`s as a different kind of datagram socket.

Sure it does.

    let f = std::fs::File::open("/dev/null").unwrap();
    let f: std::os::fd::OwnedFd = f.into();
    let socket: std::net::UdpSocket = f.into();

This is really no different. In this example it's not even a socket.
