their implementation uses #| and thus requires an exception to
RFNOMNT for pipes to work for jailed processes.

i guess i don't see this one as a problem for this case.  #|
is self-contained and pipes themselves are not named.
regardless, it is inconsistent.  it might be advantagous to
replace the pipe device.  perhaps for profiling.

replacing devcons and proc seem more interseting.  by replacing
#p and #c, one could accomplish quite a bit of clustering.
i would imagine ron has done this a few times. :-)
