Description:
------------
On loopback interfaces, where MTU is set to 65536 on modern linux flavours, lack of support to open persistent, nodelay sockets makes fast, 2-way, local communication impossible for small packets (15-30kb) due to very high latency.

While pfsockopen cannot be set to TCP_NODELAY mode, sockopen doesn't support persistency, so it's like nothing supports all features needed for fast 2-way communication.

Expected result:
----------------
Ability to set TCP_NODELAY on pfsockopen, or some function to access underlying socket, so this option could be set using socket_set_option

Actual result:
--------------
Lack of TCP_NODELAY support results in a situation that sending 20kb of data using loopback with high MTU could take 30-40ms.

socket_import_stream should do the trick :)
