No. And extensive patching to OpenSSH is required for AF_UNIX because the
codebase assumes AF_INET or AF_INET6 at every single point, and it assumes
in such a way that precludes easy integration of AF_UNIX.

1) It took a ton of work.
2) So much work the OpenSSH folks haven't even cared to look into it my
patch, let alone hold out the chance for integration into the trunk.

No. I used a square brace ('[') convention, and re-wrote the option parser
for addresses.

Nope. The addresses are sent across the wire in a fixed format which
precludes use of the relatively free-form AF_UNIX paths.
