It would be nice to make the example use a URI (ie.  nbd_connect_uri).
Is that possible?

I didn't spot that the other examples could only use a unix socket,
rather than a URI, but it'd be nice to allow them to use URIs too.

I will add that in a separate patch in the next version of the patch series.


I guess that we still use nbdkit with a unix socket when testing the 
examples in run-tests.sh, right?
