It doesn't hang. I can continue editing while I wait for the output.
From a UI perspective it can be confusing. For things like '|fmt' it
is obvious because it will finally output something. For things like
'|spell' where I don't know if it means there aren't any spelling
errors or the return is delayed, it isn't so obvious.
BTW, it isn't the system either. I can run things in other windows,
during these delay periods in acme, so I don't believe it is delays in
the interaction with the fs; and curiously I don't think I've ever
seen this on the cpu (with drawterm).
