Also from PDD22:
=item C<get_fd>
$I0 = $P1.get_fd()
For stream objects that are simple wrappers around a Unix filehandle,
C<get_fd> retrieves the Unix integer file descriptor of the object.
This method doesn't exist on stream objects that aren't Unix
filehandles, so check C<does> for the appropriate role, or C<can> for
the method before calling it.
No asynchronous version.
