Description
It was suggested that supporting UCSPI would be good.
See here: https://cr.yp.to/proto/ucspi.txt
Essentially this means "use pipes instead of local TCP sockets". This would be interesting to support for sure, and a nice design.
Probably means "no windows support" (for this method). Oh well.
Definitely somewhat cleaner, but my experiments with paired Unix sockets didn't make me happy. (I didn't know about this spec and implementations at the time though).
Certainly worth experimenting with and/or supporting (optionally) as a way to read / write streams.

Start by reading the UCSPI specification at https://cr.yp.to/proto/ucspi.txt and reviewing fowl's current stream transport design; done would mean an experimentally validated, optional UCSPI-based way to read and write streams, with the Windows limitation documented.
