[Twisted-Python] How to get the Python socket object for an TLS connection?

Hi,

answering my own post at least a bit...

It seems the issue is that TLSMemoryBIOProtocol shadows the getHandle()
method from the original TCPTransport, if i rename it to getHandle2() in
TLSMemoryBIOProtocol all works fine (but obviously other stuff will break).

Looks like Ticket #5182 is only fixed 95% of the way if one needs to
access getHandle() of the underlying TCPTransport.

Are there any easy workarounds to get the socket handle anyway?
