I suspect no one has ever looked at socket_scm_helper.c, because when I
did my reaction was just "why". The functionality of this 136-line program
can be reproduced in Python with fewer lines of code than it takes to
invoke it. Do it, and let it rest in peace.
The only reason not to do that could be because of the upcoming switch
to aqmp. For that, the new send_fd method has to be wrapped to use
transport.get_extra_info('socket') and loop.run_in_executor. Let me
know if you prefer to hold on this until later.
