not sure if this is quite what you are looking for, or if the 
performance overhead is acceptable but have you looked at msgpack 
to go on top of a lower level pipe ?

Why is a lower-level pipe needed, when we have pipe in 
std.process?

well, that is the sort of lower level pipe I was referring to.

It should be easy enough to write so you can switch out the 
transport protocol.  You could use something like nanomsg if you 
are prepared to use a beta product.  I wrote some D bindings, but 
they are pretty raw and haven't been used much except for tiny 
applications.  Fantastic if you feel like giving them a try and 
improving them.  However if you don't like them you can just call 
nanomsg C api directly.  But nanomsg itself is still early stage.
