Yes. And now that Windows supports AF_UNIX sockets, nobody had an excuse for binding random ports on localhost for IPC.

  Unless you want to support older Windows. I guess that EOL date for Win7 is fast approaching. OTOH it isn't really hard to simulate the same with win32 named pipes.

  Windows always had named pipes, which are similar enough to AF_UNIX that you could use them instead.
