have a way to specify listening host in Network (listenOn)
I want to run a local (127.0.0.1) server and there doesn't appear to be any way to specify the IP address to bind to in the listenOn function. I can only listen on a port number, which I guess exposes the port to the internet. I guess I could do this with the more cumbersome Network.Socket module, but this operation is basic enough that I think the higher level module should have it.
