Localhost for IPC is insecure across user boundries, at least compared
to stdio -- to say nothing of the fact that an external proxying agent
is always less convenient to use.
Besides, the ProxyCommand code is already there; it's just a matter of
linking it to the socket listener instead of the socket connect.
Just something that'll be useful later.
