For publishing a crate:

[x] Stdin to websocket client
[x] Abstractions for boxed peer, peer constructor, peer stream
[x] TCP connector and listener
[x] Websocket server (no ssl)
[x] Generic websocket server and client (custom connectors, not just TCP)
[x] Replying to WebSocket pings
[x] Intermediate structure between command-line strings and actual peers
[x] Normal command line interface with a help message and options
[x] --text option
[x] exec: specifier
[x] sh-c: specifier
[x] Unidirectional option
[x] UNIX and abstract listener and connector

For considering a non-alpha release:

[x] Make it singlethreaded and/or provide explicit --threaded option.
[x] Correct handling for EOF / socket shutdown
[ ] More thorough testing
[x] Line mode for websockets
[x] More useful logging (connection log), -v and --quiet options
[ ] Option to execute a program on each message, not on each connection.
[x] unix seqpacket
[x] More lints
[ ] Delays between reconnects for autoreconnect:
[x] De-hardcode buffer size

Further ideas:

[ ] Non-websocket content redirector
[x] SSL listener and connector
[ ] SCTP
[ ] Pure Rust SSL support
[x] Environment variables like URL for exec:
[ ] Special JSON powers?
[x] Specifying cookies and other HTTP headers.
[ ] Propagation of "can't accept writes anymore" status.
