srv -e serves execnet's original purpose now.
it's nice to have a wrapper that creates the service
if necessary, recreates it on hangup, and so on.

mount >{command} /mnt/xxx
strikes me as an idiom that is clumsy
at best.  every time i see it, it takes a few
minutes to remember why it works at all --
the syntax would have you believe that
the pipe would be open only for writing.
if there were better notation, you might
convince me.  also there's a lot to be said
for defaults.  there is one real problem, which
is that the servers would all need to know
to rfork(RFNAMEG) at start, so that they don't
hold up their own service ref counts.
