I was misled by this: "Currently, support is provided for TCP and UDP, 
but nothing prevents other developers from implementing SSL, Local 
Domain, Pipes, File Descriptors etc." 
(http://w3.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket/introduction.html)

Is this documented somewhere? I guess i'm supposed to pass the fd to 
socket.select(), but what is a fd for luasocket? The file object from 
io.*? Or something else?
