Coming up with generalisations that effectively capture PGM, IPC, TCP and inproc connections (and whatever is added in the future) is challenging. Things that make the library work better on one of those than others are likely to help specific use cases in the short term, but hurt the consistency of the developer experience in the long term, so it's important to tread carefully.
