I completely disagree. An individual connection is simply a group of one. Kernighan and Pike's "Program design in the UNIX environment" is one of the greatest papers on software design ever written. Their first example of a well designed program is "cat", whose most common use is displaying a single file, a special case of concatenation. There is no need for a special program to cover that special case: the general program works fine.
