Sounds like it ought to be some sort of protocol multiplexor, at
first glance.  Could be useful, specially if one can manage with
or without it.  Let's say I like the idea and I imagine it can be
made an objective without having to implement it immediately.

In a way I'm glad 4ed Plan 9 no longer supports kernel streams,
otherwise we'd be tempted to use them :-)
