Summary 0001525: only the close() of the last fd for a socket should destroy the socket
Description The description of close() repeatedly says that various actions only take place when the last fd for an object is closed. For example:

"When all file descriptors associated with a pipe or FIFO special file are closed..."

"When all file descriptors associated with an open file description have been closed, ..."

"The last close() for a STREAM..."

"If fildes refers to the master side of a pseudo-terminal, and this is the last close, ..."

But it does not say that for sockets: "If fildes refers to a socket, close() shall cause the socket to be destroyed." This suggests behavior that implementations do not (and should not) implement.
Desired Action Change: "If fildes refers to a socket, close() shall cause the socket to be destroyed."

to: "When all file descriptors associated with a socket have been closed, the socket shall be destroyed."
