My primary use case I envision for this, is to provide an API for applications that allows them to write applications with full two-way communication over websockets. But the support will also be provided for the curl tool.

Isn't connecting it to stdin/stdout the obvious thing?
Or it could create a unix domain socket, accept on it and *then* open the websocket bidirectional?
Or it could spawn a user-given command to pipe things bidirectional to?
