Spectacularly good idea, but please make sure jsing@ gets professional psychological support when he is then forced to resolve the resulting circular dependencies in libcrypto/bio/bss_file.c / BIO_s_file(3). Then again, i suspect adding BIO_accept_ex(3) and friends (as documented in OpenSSL 1.1.1 doc/man3/BIO_connect.pod) to LibreSSL and then replacing the Berkeley socket(2) layer with that is an even more pressing task.
