Hi Nicolas,

Ludo' may have meant to write "Shepherd" instead of Emacs.  Here are a
few examples for how you might use that beautiful constructor. [1][2][3]

Alas, I don't much like the name, which refers to the true daemon called
systemd.  Instead I would prefer "make-socket-listener-constructor" or
similar.

Kind regards
Felix
