 Right now, an increasingly large number of fields and flags are duplicated
 between port_cfg_t, listener_connection_t, and (say) entry_connection_t.
 Every field we add here needs to be added to every one of those types, and
 needs to be explicitly copied from each to the next during construction
 time.

 It would make this code much more maintainable if there were a type that
 we just copied from object to object here.
