Tobias C. Rittweiler (tcr) wrote : SOCKET is a subclass of FILE-STREAM

Slime's inspector tries to use PATHNAME on any kind of FILE-STREAM
object which a socket is, too. However, PATHNAME signals an (obscure)
error when being tried on a socket.

People expressed discomfort that sockets are not really file-streams.
