And I suppose you can with a channel? Or are you just sending a proxy to the socket (which you could also do with a traditional socket and an appropriate protocol). I'm not trying to diminish the importance of an easy to use library that abstracts away the socket-level code with a good protocol. I'm just saying that sending a socket over a socket isn't a good way to pitch it.
