I'd just like to know if my pledoyees for "using -options with close"
and for "settling for half-closing only *write*-sides" came just too
late, or whether it was read in time but for some reasons declined.

Is there any usecase for closing the read-side only?

And a question I also couldn't find clarified in the TIP:
  What's the result, if a socket's read-side is requested
  to be closed?  error? ignore? just marking the tcl-channel
  wrapping the socket as write-only? (in that case: what will
  happen to the data received on the socket afterwards?)
