I don't say it is very common, but I do run multiple acmes under
Plan 9 sometimes. With vastly different name spaces.

this is swimming up stream.  acme's model is to run 1 copy of acme,
and edit all files in it.  many things, such as plumbing, will work
better with 1 copy of acme.

by the way, this limitation is p9p specific.  but still it's no
fun to have the same file get plumbed to every acme.
