I like this, could it be exported it a bit more formally in /proc for
each file descriptor?

I could imagine a monitoring tool that you run on a process that
tells you what pattern state the various file descriptors are in and how
large the window is. That would be similar to the tools for
monitoring network connections, which are extremly useful
in practice.
