The documentation says this:

    Perform the accept(2) call, returning a newly-created connected
    socket and the peer address as multiple values

This is a little misleading, since the peer address is actually already
multiple values of the IP address and port. socket-accept on an inet
socket in SBCL will return three values, the second two of which make up
the peer address.
