 I want to run a local (127.0.0.1) server and there doesn't appear to be
 any way to specify the IP address to bind to in the listenOn function.  I
 can only listen on a port number, which I guess exposes the port to the
 internet.  I guess I could do this with the more cumbersome Network.Socket
 module, but this operation is basic enough that I think the higher level
 module should have it.
