+1.6 native IDN support on macOS
+
+ On recent macOS versions, the getaddrinfo() function itself has built-in IDN
+ support. By setting the AI_CANONNAME flag, the function will return the

+ This could be used by curl on macOS when built without a separate IDN library
+ and an IDN host name is used in a URL.
