I tend to both get distracted and to ramble, but what I had in the back of my mind was a wish for an example of clearly wonderful usage -- which on the one hand maybe you've finally shown that, on the other hand maybe I'm still confused about how to add that to my shell implementation to support something both like and yet unlike pipes. (While avoiding the analog of the port numbering problem.) @vnikolov @kentpitman @khinsen @holdenweb
