I would be thrilled. To write my internet clients in Icon I have
resorted to the UGLY expedient of writing a C program that opens a TCP
connection, forces standard input and standard output to the
connection, then exec's an Icon program. Of course, I can't easily
write servers this way if they have peresistent state :-(
