On one hand, it wasn't documented, so you could argue there was no
stable api for people to use (--listen excluded). On the other, I, and
probably others, have used and suggested it to others.
We could add a note to the docs saying that the named pipe interface
should be preferred, but it does feel a little at odds with having TCP
be the default. Hmmmmm.
