squid and tcp splicing ?

Hi.

I just have a quick question about the squid internals, and I couldn't find
anything about this anywhere so I decided to just 'go ask the people who
wrote the code'.
;)

Is Squid capable of doing 'TCP Connection Splicing ?', or does it have
support for this on the platforms that provide this as a kernel service
(like AIX 5.2) ?

If you have absolute no idea what the fsck Im talking about here (but are
interested), you might want to check out the following papers :
