Yes. Just trying to remember why I made my own version instead of
using Mirage_flow_unix.Fd. Looking at the code, I think I couldn't use
it because its read operation reads the whole stream in one go,
whereas for RPC you need to read only what is currently available. I
also seem to have avoided using Lwt_io, but I don't remember why now.
