No, we need pipes to properly support half-closed semantics in some
cases that matter to the protocol (these are discussed in the archives).
We should probably probably garbage-collect the dead socketpair code
some time, but it is definitely not a knob we want users to play with.

bash was doing the wrong thing varying its behaviour based on the
type of fd it was talking to, so please turn your attention there.
