someone the other day said something about pipes not composing well, which i vowed to contemplate on
anyway, while working on something i noticed a section in the 9front fqa where it mounts a subshell's standard output as a filesystem:
mount <{9660srv -s} /n/iso /path/to/9front.iso

(so i mean, technically it is taking a subshell that is acting as a fileserver and presenting it within the current namespace, rather than having an entire iso live in memory for random reading access between processes - still the composability is blowing my mind)
@ed you may find this an intriguing example of namespace usage
