I had in mind something like:

import Data.ByteString
import Data.Iteratee

clientEnum :: MonadIO m
           => params
           -> Enumerator ByteString m a
           -> Enumerator ByteString m a
clientEnum params client = ...

i.e.

clientEnum :: MonadIO m
           => params
           -> (Iteratee ByteString m a -> m (Iteratee ByteString m a))
              -- ^ Client function
           -> Iteratee ByteString m a --^ "Output"
           -> m (Iteratee ByteString m a) --^ "Input"

Where inner enumerator is simply a client side while 'outer' is a
outside/server part.
