It wouldn't fit because it doesn't work the same. While QUIC does have a 
concept of connections, it doesn't have the same ordering requirements 
and streams make a simple "recv" no longer possible. QUIC will need its 
own interface.

That's fine though, projects can use both Ranch and QUIC separately if 
needed.
