When neither `bind_addr` nor `bind_family` are specified, can we bind to 
all local addresses (127.0.0.1, ::1) that exist in the system? Or at 
least to the first of them that exists, to improve the user experience 
on IPv6-only systems a little?

The naming is not optimal, it's upper limit not default.
