*
* c-ares API functions returning a pointer to c-ares internally
* allocated data will actually be returning an interior pointer

* All this is 'invisible' to the calling application, the only
* requirement is that this kind of data must be free'ed by the
* calling application using ares_free_data() with the pointer
* it has received from a previous c-ares function call.
