At the very least. And X11 forwarding. What about that? Normally X11 TCP
connections are run with TCP_NODELAY...

Since the protocol allows a variety of kinds of traffic to be exchanged
over a TCP connection, some which should be used with Nagle, and some
which shouldn't, the protocol should really be capable of implementing
Nagle on a per-channel basis and always run with TCP_NODELAY, but that's
a lot easier said than done.
