Follow-up Comment #2, bug #43028 (project lwip):

I'm not all that familiar with how often new members get added to the pcb, but
is it out of the question to add another u8_t for mcast_ttl guarded by #if
LWIP_IGMP.  Then when sending datagrams, use the appropriate TTL depending on
unicast or multicast destination address

If the bug isn't addressed, then applications are just going to end up having
to create a second socket, possibly with SO_REUSEADDR (_PORT) depending on use
case, to have unicast and multicast senders with different TTLs.  This seems
like it will consume more resources for that use case than u8_t
