How does plan9 solve the problem that for some functionality, it is
much more efficient (or at least simpler) to manipulate directly the
C/C++/whatever data structures instead of having to write/read plan9
files and convert the data gathered there? Does one, in such cases,
write a wrapper library or do plan9 programs take a different route?
