I've bumped into situation (doing a large database query) where dbus
buffer size was a limitation - the message just didn't pass through
the dbus). I can't quote exact sizes here.

Sometimes it would be handy if method returns could be routed directly
to a socket on invoking process. The semantics of that would be pretty
clear, and writing huge blobs would be feasible (allowing serialize ->
de-serialize & use at the same time without having copy of the whole
data around).
