Trio provides facilities for testing via trio.testing
It seems these would come in useful here, as a way to extensively test a user's custom protocols, in an efficient way, without doing any actual system call.
For example, one could want to test a protocol over a memory_stream_pair transport (my current use-case)
As for what the API could look like, I don't have a clear picture just yet. The intention is simply to provide a similar abstraction of a 'listener'/'server' "running", while a 'client' attempts to connect to it.
The client and the server will likely just be 2 coroutines communicating over a memory transport...
