Wouldn't it be a lot more elegant if open() on a Unix socket
was equivalent to socket() / connect() ?
That would mean that server apps that now use a named pipe (fifo)
for their clients to connect to could move to a Unix socket without
changing the client at all, but they would be able to get at
the client credentials using SO_CRED
Yes I have such an app ;)
