openssh unix dev - Oct 2018 - OpenSSH socket forwarding in ssh_config file?

The ssh command line's -L option has supported socket forwarding for a 
while, but as far as I can tell the ssh_config file does not, even in 
7.9.

Is this planned? Or is there some reason this isn't reasonable? Oris 
there some syntax I've missed?

It does, look for LocalForward

Pardon me, I've been unclear.

I don't mean TCP forwards but UNIX domain socket forwarding. I use 
LocalForward extensively in my ssh configs for tunnels, but although 
these command line options:

    -L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport
    -L [bind_address:]port:remote_socket
    -L local_socket:host:hostport
    -L local_socket:remote_socket

work just fine for UNIX domain sockets, all my efforts with UNIX socket 
file paths have met with failure in the ssh config file, and the 
ssh_config(5) manual entry doesn't mention them.

UNIX domain sockets have the advantage that one can apply UNIX 
permissions to them, a boon on a shared machine.
