This may be a stupid question:

Does std.socket encorporate or replace pipe usage? Ie, if I'm going to do 
something along the lines of (psuedo-code):

auto parentToChild = pipe();
auto childToParent = pipe();
if(fork())
{
    // talk to other process
}
else
{
    // talk to other process
}

Is there anything in std.socket, or any way of using it that would aid in 
this sort of thing (ideally in a cross-platform way), or is it entirely 
orthogonal to this?

Does anyone who's done this sort of thing in D before, on Win or Lin, know 
of anything else in particular to be aware of?

Unix domain socket?

This socket I rewrote can communicate with other processes using  
LocalEndpoint.
(Sorry, I don't know Windows environment).
