Hmm, currently inproc:// is weird, e.g. it doesn't allow connect
before bind. So a weird name fits.

But if inproc:// actually worked like a proper disconnected transport,
it'd make sense to use a name that felt more like a proper transport,
and itc:// is nice for that.

In terms of pain for applications, it's minor: one search and replace,
and it's done.

So Martin, I'd suggest not worrying about compatibility here,
especially if we break other stuff in 3.0, and consider just whether
itc:// is a better name or not.
