I sorta lost track of what I was saying there: spawn*() would work fine in
pipelines, since they involve fork-quickly-followed-by-exec.
Doug's nifty sieve example, on the other hand, would not: the Right Thing
there is Go, or else goroutines in C (either libmill or its successor
libdill as you prefer) since the sieve doesn't actually involve any sort of
global state for which processes are relevant. Granted, the C libraries
have a little bit of x86_64 asm in them (but you are not expected to
understand this).
