I like to assign address like unicast (using ioctl and rtnetlink
(RTN_ANYCAST)).
We suggest you not exporting this facilicy until finishing new API
(And, another API would be standardized;
This is another reason why I am against exporting that API for now.)

I think anycast addresses are more like multicast than unicast. Do
you agree about this?

But here is what really matters, does the advanced IPV6 socket API
say anything about a user API for anycast?
