a couple of questions come to mind.  how does writing
to a ns interact with shared namespaces?  does it automaticly
fork the namespace?  seems iffy.  which leads to the next
obvious question

how do you prevent a race between changing the namespace and
opening fds?

and, what about open file descriptors?

seems like a big can of worms.
