@musybite I wonder if this will be merged & released?

@musybite @astro any way that this can be merged? thanks!

@ojab @ajimix @mikecmpbll i'd proposed another implementation in MR #33. API is fully the same. Could you check whether it works for you?

I have certain doubts about switching from class @@-variables to thread-local variables: for example, it will definitely break socksify_ruby script for multi-threaded apps, and could lead to other unintended consequences. From the very beginning, socksify implied "global socksification" of whole application with all its threads, and thread-safe (albeit somewhat ugly) APIs were added only recently. For such old and stable project as socksify, it is important not to break compatibility.

I don't use socksify any more, so unfortunately I can't test this change.
