Description:
------------
Currently, there does not seem to be a way to create an anonymous pipe (which is 
particularily) via the pipe(2) system call. There should be a wrapper for pipe 
and optionally pipe2 in php. See 
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/pipe.html for the POSIX 
spec.

Test script:
---------------
<?
list($readfd, $writefd) = posix_pipe();

Note the most common use case is covered by proc_open

Support for unnamed pipes are useful with pcntl_fork(). That would allow for easy communication between parent and child processes.

A workaround is to use socket_create_pair(). However, sockets are not as lightweight as pipes.
