It sounds like what you're expecting is what would happen if we
allowed open() on a Unix domain socket to do the obvious thing (can
we, pretty please?)
Why? Do any other OS's support this? It seems pointless if it's
nonportable, but, if for arguments sake, several other OSs provide
this then I guess we could for compatability reasons... and I assume
with this proposal open would be jost socket/connect --- accept
behavior would still require accept?
