API methods available through socket.io?

[jfgorski]

Is there functionality to make the API defined on the Restify server available through socket.io? I haven't thought through all the details, but I mean something like

var server = restify.createServer();
var io = socketio.listen(server);

server.post(...)
server.get(...)

io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
  server.attachToSocket(socket)
});

Then the socket would be endowed with an event called "restify", say, which could take an object specifying a API request, and the reply acknowledgement would have the API response.
