Are you planing on putting this on grpc/grpc-dotnet? #2

This package is pretty cool. I just needed some IPC and figured i'll do some research and ran into this. This seems like a great typed alternative.

Because of the way it's implemented, this package will never be interoperable with any other gRPC named pipe implementation, so it's unlikely to be officially endorsed (I talked about this a bit with jtattermusch).

The long term story for gRPC named pipes is to use HTTP over named pipes. That should eventually be supported in ASP.NET Core, which will let it be implemented in grpc-dotnet.

In the meantime this package should work fine if you don't need that interoperability.

What a pitty. I particularly like that it does not bind to ports and works the way it does. Thanks for your work in that case! :)
