+Forward host UNIX socket to guest TCP port
+
+Hello. I've been racking my brain trying to work out if this is possible.
+
+I would like to be able to forward to a guest TCP port, via a host UNIX socket to avoid opening a TCP port on the host. For example:
+
+qemu-system-i386 [...] -nic user,hostfwd=unix:/path/to/socket-:22
+
+and then connect to the VM like:
+
+ssh -o "ProxyCommand socat - unix-connect:/path/to/socket" user@0.0.0.0
+
+QEMU, as versatile as it is, doesn't appreciate my intuited syntax "hostfwd=unix:...". It is also unhappy with:
+
+qemu-system-i386 [...] \
+    -chardev socket,id=foo,path=/path/to/socket,server,nowait \
+    -nic user,hostfwd=chardev:foo-:22
+
+And:
+
+qemu-system-i386 [...] \
+    -nic user \
+    -chardev socket,id=foo,path=/path/to/socket,server,nowait \
+    -chardev socket,id=foo,host=10.0.2.15,port=22
+
+I already found out how to connect in the opposite direction, **from** guest TCP to host UNIX, via guestfwd -> cmd -> socat. So I feel like there ought to be a way.
+
+If this is not yet a feature I would like to request it, and if it is, please tell me how!
