multifdsink would handle unix domain sockets if someone wrote the 2-line patch
to make it not error out.

What is the use case for adding support for UNIX domain sockets that can't
already be handled by localhost TCP sockets?  Although AF_UNIX sockets are
somewhat faster, if you actually care about the difference (i.e., you're moving
GB/sec though a socket), you should be using shared memory.  And if you're
using a protocol on top of AF_UNIX, you wouldn't want to use a generic unix
socket element.
