Local? Funny. It lives atop of TCP or IL quite fine. What's even funnier, I can use it to export /proc from CPU server to workstation and use _that_ for remote debugging. Ditto for window system. Ditto for DNS. Ditto for plumber. No, not on Linux...
What you do is mapping your RPC to hierarchical namespace. After that... What extensibility do you need? You can use every utility written for core UNIX API (open()/read()/write()/close()) as a client. No need to reinvent the wheel...
