I double-checked the implementation, and don't see that make any difference,
as 'n' is the default.

That would work just same, but I don't see any advantage. As the family
and port members are the same between sockaddr_in and sockaddr_in6,
the compiler can decide to set these regardless to the argument values
regardless of the condition.
