Not really... read the existing code and make something that looks
similar basically. (And then attach it to the bug you filed, in "git
format-patch" format, or use git-bz to automate that.)

In this case you'd probably want to add
g_inet_socket_address_get_scope_id()  and
g_inet_socket_address_set_scope_id().
