Hmm. Maybe a bittorrent-like client, that is creating connections to
peers for data transfer, and connections which want different options
for control channels?

Or a distributed conferencing application - asterisk + video +
whiteboarding...

I didn't have something specific in mind - just was thinking that at the
time one talks about adding syscalls, it's nice to get it right the
first time instead of having another 'Oh, I need something new' request
in the short-term.
