In the core, there are lots of functions such as strip(), prefix(), rewritehostport(), and, in my view, force_send_socket(). These functions don't take PV arguments, and are superceded by the more flexible direct manipulation of the RURI, the destination set, and $fs, along with the wealth of transformations available nowadays, which can be chained.
It would be nice if $fs would supersede force_send_socket, i.e, allow proto to be missing. I haven't tried myself.
If proto is mandatory in $fs then its use is more cumbersome than that of force_send_socket.
