I've been thinking about the same thing for quite some time now (and
don't you suspect that I have any real suggestions here, more like a
bunch of pet peeves). I guess my personal feeling of cognitive
dissonance comes from the fact that I can do pretty much anything in
Plan9 in a more or less simple shell script, but I can't easily "share"
the service of the shell scripts via namespace abstraction.
Thanks,
Roman.
