Please don't use port/locals for that. port/locals is used internally
by many protocols (http, ftp etc.), and will be used by even more
protocols (including plain TCP in async mode) in the future.
The appropriate place for user references in ports is port/user-data.
All current experimental builds should have this field in ports.
