Check POSIX to see if this makes sense.

Pre-Lenexa Summary

[internet.multicast.outbound], [internet.multicast.group]

The suggestion is that we can use the name "scope_id" for these parameters when used in the IPv6 case (however, see also #177).

I'm not convinced that they are semantically the same thing, so I suggest staying with the status quo.
